The Milton 448 Tire Tread Depth Gauge is a compact aluminum tool that measures tire tread from 0 to 1 inch with precise 1/32" graduations, supplied in a pack of 10 for shops or fleets.

Accurate tread measurement helps you judge tire wear quickly and consistently without guesswork. The Milton 448 is a slim, round aluminum gauge machined with 1/32" markings and a pocket clip so technicians, fleet managers, and home mechanics can store and use it easily. It’s built in the USA and designed for repeated use in garages, service bays, and roadside checks.

How accurate is the Milton 448 for checking tire tread?

The gauge reads from 0 to 1 inch in 1/32" increments, giving reliable, repeatable measurements for virtually all passenger and light-truck tires. Its metal construction and clear markings reduce reading errors compared with makeshift methods.

• Precision graduations: 1/32" increments for fine resolution.
• Measurement range: 0–1" covers typical tread depths.
• Durable aluminum body prevents flexing during use.

How do you use this tread depth gauge effectively?

Place the gauge perpendicular to the tread groove, press until the base seats on the tire shoulder, and read the exposed indicator against the scale. Repeat across multiple grooves and both sides of the tire for a complete assessment.

• Insert into the deepest part of the tread groove for best reading.
• Take three readings per tire: inner, center, and outer grooves.
• Compare measurements across tires to monitor uneven wear patterns.

What makes this tool suited for shops and fleet use?

The Milton 448 is compact, low-maintenance, and sold as a box of 10 to outfit teams or supply counters. The metal finish resists day-to-day wear, while the included pocket clip keeps the gauge on hand during inspections.

• Pack size: box of 10 for multiple users or replacements.
• Pocket clip for convenient carry between vehicles.
• Made in the USA for consistent manufacturing quality.

How should I store and care for the gauge to keep it accurate?

Keep the gauge clean and free of debris; wipe it after use and store in a dry place to prevent corrosion. The aluminum construction needs minimal maintenance but periodic checks against a reference can confirm accuracy.

• Wipe with a clean cloth after each use to remove grit.
• Store in a pouch or toolbox to avoid dings that could affect readings.
• Verify against a known standard if long-term precision is critical.

Who is this for: The Milton 448 box of 10 is ideal for automotive shops, tire retailers, inspection stations, fleet maintenance crews, and DIY enthusiasts who want a small, precise, and durable tool for monitoring tread wear.
