Re: [BlindHandyMan] tyres

Dear Carl:
You can pick up a tire gage from Radio Shack for under ten bucks which will 
speak the pressure readings in either English or Spanish.
A tread measurement can be done with most small measuring tools.  I 
normally just feel for the markers in the grooves to see how much tread still 
remains above the markers.  A penny can also give you a good idea of how much 
rubber is still on the tire.

Yours Truly,

Clifford Wilson

RE: [BlindHandyMan] tyres

2007-03-13 Thread Robert J. Moore
What is Brookstone and do they have a web site?
As for tire tread depth, I don’t have a salution for measuring the exact
depth. However  if you feel between the treads every 6 inches or so you will
feel a raised line that goes from the inside of the tire to the out side.
Once the tread is worn down to those lines the tire is at its leagle limit.
I have heard them refered to as Nader bumps because Ralph Nader was
instrumental in making it mandatory for all tire manufacturers to
incorporate them in to all tires. Hope this helps.

I have a talking tire gauge someone saw and bought for me from brookstone.
It differs from my visual tire gauge by 3 PSI but the difference is
consistent throughout the range we keep our tires and I honestly don't know
which of the two is correct. This pressure gauge is simple, holds the
measure after you take it so you can press a button and hear it repeated.
As it was sold at Brookstone, it is not made specifically for the blind, but
it works fine. I have nothing that gives audible feedback on tread wear,
however.

Hi Carl,
I have a talking tire pressure guage. I purchased it from sears a few years 
ago for around $15.
