Daytona Mesh Hose Air Gauge with Depth Gauge…5,940 yen (tax included) Product Number: 49299
The cylindrical part above the round display has a “release valve function” for adjusting air pressure, which allows you to release the air pressure in the tire by pushing a button.
Checking tire pressure is an important task that is essential for safe and stable driving. Tires with low tread can also cause slippage when riding in the rain, which can lead to accidents such as falls, so regular checks are essential.
Daytona’s newly released “Mesh Hose Air Gauge with Depth Gauge” is an extremely useful item that can check and measure the above two points with just one device.
The air pressure meter uses a scale that is color-coded in three colors, allowing you to immediately determine whether the air pressure is high or low. The head that connects to the tire valve and the base of the hose are both rotatable, allowing for flexible movement. Another key point is that it is extremely easy to use.
The depth of the tire tread is measured by inserting the measuring needle of the depth gauge attached to the round body into the groove. Another big attraction is its compact appearance, which means it won’t get in the way even if you store it in a toolbox.

When does a motorcycle tire reach the end of its life? In some cases, it needs to be replaced even if the mileage is low!It is said that the guideline for replacing motorcycle tires is after 10,000 to 20,000 km of driving, and 3 to 5 years from the date of manufacture. However, in reality, this varies depending on various factors, such as how the motorcycle is ridden and the storage environment. Therefore, it is not possible to say at what kilometres or years you should replace your motorcycle tires. So, when exactly should you replace your motorcycle tires? The key is to always know the current condition of your tires through daily inspections. Let us introduce some basic check methods.

What happens if you dispose of old tires and batteries as “household waste”? A true story of how the local government and police were called in and the illegal dumper was caught [Basic knowledge for motorcycle beginners]Among the accessories that come with a motorcycle, there are some that should not be easily disposed of as household waste, even if they are “old and no longer usable,” “replaced,” or “no longer needed.” Typical examples include tires and batteries. If you put old tires or batteries that you have replaced in a garbage bag and leave them in a collection area, this will be considered “illegal dumping,” so be careful. PHOTO/REPORT●KITA Hideaki
