I don't usually comment but thank you for this video. One of the top tier videos on tire life, and how to check them. Very informative, and straight to the point. Thank you.
I worked behind the parts counter of a Ford dealership for 47 years...This is the best tutorial I've seen todate,both explaining and demonstrating the use of a tire tread guage..
Yo mani this is an absolutely CLUTCH video my man. I started my first day at a tire changing place and I asked the "manger" with 5 years of experience what 2/32nds was and I obviously should've put it together on my own but he couldn't give me an answer and told me to look it up. Unreal. You taught me more bout tires in 5 minutes than he did in 7 hrs
That’s probably the best explanation I’ve heard, the average new SUV tire is @ 10/32 so you can pretty much use the following numbers as percentages so if you’re at 7/32 you have 70% if you are at 4/32 you have 40% left etc. etc.
Fast and furious with the tire knowledge. Keep making these informative automotive videos regularly, like on cruise control, so we can gain better understanding of car details. Thank you for sharing your vast expertise on tires. See you in the winner's circle.
Love the Akatsuki theme song. So awesome !😂😂😂😂. Took me back to the best anime series of all time...less the fillers.👍 Hey thanks for the informative video.
massive thank you - your guide is the best on You Tube - period ! yours is the only site which teaches to use the first number with line underneath, with this tool - the others say about taking a measurement but never explain how to take one. suspect they dont know either Top stuff !
Thank you! This was helpful. I bought a tire tread depth gauge a while back but I was confused about reading the numbers. Forget that penny method, haha.
Thank you so much I am a CDL driver wasn’t sure how to read all those numbers there’s a lot of bad videos out there that don’t get to the point thanks for explaining God bless
Thank you, just started a new job and wasn’t explained 100% on this. I wanted to make sure I was doing it right. Didn’t know I could turn the center part…. Thanks 😂
Nice vid man thank you I just realized my 11 year old tires have 9/32 tread left so probably I should just change them due to time and age of the tire even though they look just fine. 800 treadwear is genuinely built different
Great video, but the math is a little oversimplified. If the life of a tire that starts at 10/32 inch tread depth ends at 2/32, then for instance, a tire at 4/32 does not have 40 percent of its life left, it has 25 percent left (2 of the 8 32nds that can be worn down from 10 to 2).
No, his math seems right to me. You can use proportions for this type of stuff. If 10/32 = 100%, then you can cross multiply 2/32 with 100% and divide that by 10/32 and you get 20%.
Thanks lol bro. Had to watch like ten videos but noone really explained properly LOL I finished watching the other video about the tire pressure LOL bout to go check mines now!😂 Thanks! Take care bro
Finally video that show me the tire gauge depth close up. So I didn’t know I’m supposed to spin it til first number ? Clockwise? And do we use the same set of numbers on the next? I was confused with all diff level of 32nd measurements on the tool
Everyone forgets to mention the born on date on tire side wall of tires, dot followed by week of the year, now there using letters, can be found online, i believe rubber has a shelf life..
Yeah you're right normally you don't' want tires older than 7 years. I briefly mentioned age has an effect on the tire life as well but my main focus of this video was to show how to measure tire tread using the tread depth tool
Nice video my man I appreciate it. I finally bought one of those little tools so I can measure my tread depth and your video really help me understand it. Thanks again.
To me the tire is super important, I check it every morning, if a tire is leaking air or goes flat, you going to spend alot of time, getting it towed to get fix or replaced. Everything else is not difficult for example battery, if battery dies get it jump simple as that.
while there are some wear guidelines - conditions do determine a lot when it comes to when to change tires - for example you live in SoCal - it hardly ever rains - plenty of people driving on 2/32 with no problem (until it rains) but you live in Breckenridge CO and you get snow from October to May - I would change at or before 4/32
I’ve just had to stop and compose myself. You said my life is a mess and I say and cried for two hours. Thanks for the kick in the balls and then thanks for the tyre advice. Sniff* fist bump.
Good video simple and easy to understand, depending on your weather where you live makes a big difference to,4/32 5/32 vs new can be another 100 150 feet in a panic stop. I'm at like 5/32 if i can make it though winter I would ride them a little longer. But I am temped to go with a pair of cross climate 2 tires because there is $150.00 cash back. I had Bridgestone duelers 687 and they where decent I wasn't crazy about him I thought they were a little loud they were great in the snow and they were brand new. But I wouldn't buy him again they're the same price as the michelins. I also had really good luck with sumitomo ht p03 I think they make a great tire and are underrated but they don't really seem to be all that much cheaper than the cross climates.
This channel is very educational and I like your point of view on the subject. I wanted to know how fast can a tire tread wear on a tire that have 90,000 tread wear on it go
X_slap_my _nutz_X lol nice username ahaha and thanks for the feedback but if you’re talking about tread wear rating then usually the higher the treadwear rating the more stiff a tire is but you need to understand that if a tire is more stiff it will last longer because it won’t wear as fast as a softer tire BUT because it’s much more stiff it will crack easier with age so just because a tread wear is high doesn’t mean the tire will last long. I’ll probably make a video on this but the best way to extend the life of your tires is: proper tire pressure, proper tire rotation, proper alignment, and proper age of tire. These are the most important to ensure long tire life
@@ManiiZilla so as long as I'm keeping the proper air in the tire and putting tire shine on my tire making sure the sun doesn't cracked my tires. So how many times can i get an alignment on your car. So a old tire with a lot of treadwear doesn't mean anything cause the tire can still be bad or go bad? I never knew that
@@ManiiZilla some of these new tires be sitting on people shelves for a long period of time before they sell them and if they know the tire is bad why sell them. So when you get rid of tires what they do with them? I'm going to purchase 4 brand new tires today Cs5 grand touring cooper tires i heard they're solid tires and they come 11/32 brand new treadwear
THE FIRST VIDEO OUT OF MANY THAT PROPERLY DESCRIBES MEASURING A TIRE.....THANK YOU!

Good job in explaining.

Considering you cannot go lower than 20% tire life (in the US) so at 2/32, you’d need to replace your tires asap.
Thank you ManiZilla, i now have the knowledge and confidence to measure my tires! :)
Dang, this video is straight to the point compared to other video.
Good job describing the tool, usage, warning signs and what a new tire should be for a baseline.
Great video. Lots of info mixed with some humor in a short amount of time. Thanks for uploading!
Excellent overall explanation, thank you!
Very straight forward and quick to the point- subbed!
Short, sweet, and to the point. Great video thanks. Just subscribed

Super helpful, thanks bro!
My dealer told me the wear-bars are where you measure the tread depth from. Made me replace my tires. They fucked me. Oh well, live and learn
Nice information video... appreciated! Thank you
