Free Tire Inspection & Tread Depth Log
A tire log that tracks pressure, tread depth, and condition by wheel position over time — so you spot uneven wear, plan rotations, and catch a tire before it fails.

What you get
- Per-position rows (steer, drive, trailer) keyed to a standard wheel-position map
- Columns for measured pressure vs spec, tread depth, and condition
- Rotation and replacement tracking so cadence isn't guesswork
- A worked example showing how to read uneven wear
- An editable spreadsheet you can keep per vehicle
How to use it
- 1
Set the inspection date and record the vehicle's cold tire pressure spec at the top.
- 2
Measure each tire's pressure when cold and its tread depth at the shallowest groove.
- 3
Compare measured pressure to spec and note the condition (even wear, cupping, edge wear, damage).
- 4
Flag any tire at or near the legal/replacement tread limit for replacement, and note rotation needs.
- 5
Repeat on a regular cadence so the log reveals wear trends, not just single readings.

Tire Inspection & Tread Depth Log
Tread-depth replacement limits vary by axle position and jurisdiction (steer tires typically require more tread than other positions). Verify against current FMCSA/DOT and local rules. Measure pressure cold.
| Date | Wheel Position | Spec PSI | Measured PSI | Tread Depth (32nds) | Wear Pattern | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-06-10 | Steer LF | 110 | 108 | 9 | Even | OK |
| 2026-06-10 | Steer RF | 110 | 96 | 6 | Inner edge | Check alignment |

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions buyers usually ask once the category, software, or rollout details start getting more specific.
Federal rules set minimum tread depths that differ by axle position — steer tires require more remaining tread than other positions. The figures are measured in 32nds of an inch. Verify the exact minimums against current FMCSA/DOT rules and your local requirements.
Driving heats the air inside a tire and raises its pressure, so a hot reading looks higher than the true set pressure. Measuring cold — before the vehicle has run — gives a reading you can compare to the spec.
Wear patterns are diagnostic: edge wear suggests under-inflation or alignment, center wear suggests over-inflation, cupping suggests worn suspension components, and one-side wear suggests camber or toe issues. Logging the pattern points you at the root cause.
Drivers check pressure and obvious damage on the pre-trip; a measured tread-and-pressure log entry on a regular interval (for example monthly, or at each PM) builds the trend you need to plan rotations and replacements.
