Abstract

A tread depth gauge is disclosed for use in measuring the depth of tread on a tyre, such as, for example, a conventional motor vehicle tyre. The depth gauge is provided with engaging means configured to engage releasably the air valve of a tyre thereby to releasably secure the depth gauge to the air valve in a storage position when the gauge is not in use.
