Abstract

A multi coloured rubber block used to monitor tyre tread depth. The block is adhered to or inserted into the tyre tread to give a visual indication of tyre wear. The block is intended to remove the need for physically measuring tyre tread depth. Blocks may be positioned at three points around the tyre circumference (see figure 3).

Description

Description
Currently tyre tread depth is monitored by the use of a tyre depth gauges.
To overcome this the present invention proposes a visible monitoring of a tyres tread through colour coded depth indicator, which can be seen by the user without any physical measuring.
The advantages of this product are: 1) Removes the need for physically measuring the depth of the tread on a tyre. 2) Gives a coloured visible indication of the depth tread. 3) Visible to the user at all times. 4) Helps to prevent over wear of the tyre tread thus reducing the risk of being penalised for worn tyres. 5) Ultimately helps maintain safe road handling through having sufficient tread depth on tyres. 6) Helps to promote more regular changing of worn tyres.
