50553 Longacre Tire Durometer

This amazing rubber hardness tester comes with a handy red carrying case. Tire hardness significantly impacts your car's performance. An overly hard tire won't grip well, while an overly soft one may wear out fast or even clump up. Also, tire hardness varies throughout its lifespan. To achieve optimal performance, you must monitor your tire's hardness. This user - friendly tool allows you to measure hardness quickly, accurately, and effortlessly, with readings ranging from 0 - 100 points. For the most consistent results, rock the durometer from an angled - back position, past straight up, to an angled - forward position. The pointer will move up to the highest (true) reading and then back down. Just record the highest reading reached.

Using this tire hardness tester is a breeze. First, make sure your tire is clean. Then, take the tester out of its red carrying case. Place the tester on the tire surface. To get the most consistent results, rock the durometer as described - from an angled - back position, past straight up, to an angled - forward position. Watch the pointer as it moves up to the highest reading and then back down. Record that highest reading. When it comes to maintenance, keep the tester clean and dry. After use, put it back in the red carrying case to protect it from dust and damage. If you notice any issues with the tester, like inaccurate readings, it might be time to have it checked by a professional.
