Service Tip: How to Use GrooveGlove™

Ever Wondered About Tire Tread?

Do you ever wonder how to find out when you need a new set of tires? You heard that GrooveGlove™ can help you but don’t know what really it is and how it works? We have answers to your wandering thoughts.

What is GrooveGlove™?

It is a laser-powered tire tread depth and alignment measurement instrument that fits in the palm of your hands!

What Does GrooveGlove™ Do?

It provides a detailed tire tread depth and vehicle alignment recommendations with powerful software. GrooveGlove™ is a handheld device that operates in a very simple fashion. The user places the GrooveGlove™ on the tire so that a top-mounted guide indicator is past the inside edge of the tire. Pressing the “on” button on the top of the unit with the index finger turns on the device and lasers. The user then slides the device across the tire, while continuing to hold the power button down, to the point where the guide indicator is past the outside edge of the tire. This completes the measurement for each tire.

How Does It Work?

Let’s listen to Joe Zoumbos, our Tire Specialist at Mercedes-Benz of Ontario, talk about what GrooveGlove™ is and how it works!
