Is this gauge suitable for measuring tread depth on semi tractor tires?

I am sorry - I don't know the answer to that. Perhaps Milton's customer support can answer that better.

The gauge is marked in 32/in and goes to a max depth of 32 (1"). If you need to measure tread depth greater than that this gauge will not suffice.

this is a gas gauge for my Grasshopper, what do you mean tread diameter? THe gas gauge worked great. Greg

That is exactly my application. I installed all 5 of them during my last new tire purchase. They seem to work OK, although not as precise as the OEM units. The OEM units always agreed and were closer to my actual gauge measurement.

Deep enough to fit AEM or Autometer gauges. Probably a little more then 2in

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that but the gauge runs from .012 to .053 ins or 0.3 to 1.35 mm. Hope that answers it.

The short answer is "I don't know". But, Presta valves are found mostly on bicycles and if you are considering carrying this gauge in your bicycle tool kit I'd vote against it simply because it is heavy. It is probably the best tire guage you can buy, but it is big and heavy, in bicycle terms.

yes, it measures in pounds of pressure per square inch. my tank is full at 2000 PSI and this gauge indicates it very accurately. From full all the down to zero. I am quite happy it.

While I urge the manufacturer to provide an official answer, I am using the gauge with a compressor that (like most) can exceed 120 psi. The logic is that the gauge measures the pressure of inflation back from the tire, and not the pressure that is provided during inflation. So, the issue is to not over-inflate the tire (which could also be damaged by 120 psi and be even dangerous). If you use the gauge a lot to inflate tires, I would suggest to dial back the maximum pressure on the compressor (such as to 80 instead of 120 psi), since most compressors have this feature.

Look at your tire and it will state what the PSI cold should be. That is the rating you should use.

I don't think so. I used it on my tires and it worked fine as it should without calibration. My tires are supposed to be 32 psi and that's what I got after putting air into them. I hope this helps!

So far I have put about 24K in two years on mine and still have a decent amount of tread left. Without a tread depth gauge I cant give you accurate numbers but I'm guessing mid 50's low 60's. I will tell you that I will be buying these again when that time comes.

I own five of these tire gauges. Had one that was sticking and sent it to Chicago for repair. The unit was re-calibrated and returned to me. This is a quality tool.

1/2 inch tread depth.these tires work very well on my uneven soft hilly yard and don't hurt the terrain unlike my turf savers.

If it don't move probly not working actually I was not to happy with this gauge , I purchased a different one witch I like a lot better, this one seamed so big and stiff ! Good Luck

I did determined the accuracy by comparing with other gauges, not NIST (that would be great). Also if you let out a little bit of air the gauge reads that difference, and when you take multiple readings of the same tire you get readings very close. So, if you need a certified gauge for inspection work, this is not the one, but otherwise it is really good.

This item is a tire inflation gauge. It is NOT an air compressor! It is attached to a standard air compressor line with a quick-disconnect coupling. Attached to an air compressor it would work fine for inflating bicycle tires.

it does real good for tires for bicycles etc but will take a while longer to get auto tires up to psi needed. the meter says 60 psi but i always use a tire gauge for accuracy. i would say 35 psi.
