x100 Free Tyre Tread Checker Keyrings at NZTA.

Today I had a new set of tyres put on my car, while I was in the waiting room there was a box full of free tyre tread checker keyrings. I grabbed one to keep in the glove box. I decided to search the item and found the NZTA website that says you can order them for free.

In each free order there is a bundle of 20 tyre tread checker keyrings. You can order x5 bundles equalling 100 tyre tread checker keyrings.

These are the details as stated on the website:

How to order

• There are 20 key rings per bundle
• Limit 100 key rings (5 bundles) per order
• Use the order form to request tyre tread checkers – search the catalogue for ‘keyrings’, select quantity, fill in your contact and delivery details, and place the order
• If you require more than the stated limit - request your quantity required. Under the ‘order reason’ state why you require more
• Requests for orders above the limit will be considered on a case by case basis.

      Yes but this deal is for 100 of them. You can never know when you might need one or 100.

        Lol Nachos, too funny, this whole thread is classic!

  • gunblade on 27/05/2021 - 18:06

      There is a search catalogue button where you can find the item

  • gunblade on 27/05/2021 - 18:43

    Got it now, it's on the list if you scroll down. Thanks!

  • Lower Hutt Lurkers on 27/05/2021 - 20:23

    Did it come with an instruction on how to use them?. Also I think these are for businesses only? Just that it asked for your company name. Lol

    • nachos on 27/05/2021 - 21:42

      i believe you hold it near the tyre as in pic and it lights up green or red depending on condition, may need to replace batteries eventually. Hope that helps.

      • Dewoodelf on 27/05/2021 - 21:53

        They might be a one use only tho? That's why you get 100

        • nachos on 27/05/2021 - 21:55

          i believe the orange colour means replace battery, so yes good idea just throw it away instead

            @nachos: They're solar powered.

            • nachos on 27/05/2021 - 22:06

              @wowbigdeal: so it can light up but only during the day? that sounds like a bad design.

                @nachos: I highly recommend checking the depth of the tread in the morning before leaving your property. You don't want to be caught out with low tread in the middle of the night.

            @nachos: These will be great as coasters for vodka shot glasses

      You poke them into the tread and see how shallow it is. There are instructions on the card.

      There are no lights or batteries involved, it's just a painted metal disc.

  • KnightNZ on 28/05/2021 - 07:30

    You can also just wander into NZTA and there's a huge bowl of them on the table.

      It will be awkward if I take the whole bowl…

        Only awkward if you make it awkward 😁

      • Cashmere on 15/06/2021 - 12:11

        Lol The Hound and wowbigdeal, too funny, this thread is getting a lot of … mileage!

          Not a lot of mileage with bald tyres. Just another reason to get a pile of these tyre tread checker key rings.

          • Cashmere on 15/06/2021 - 12:29

            @wowbigdeal: Hey what do you advise re company name? I don’t want mine to all turn up where I work… lol. Is there a workaround for this anyone?

              @Cashmere: I recommend getting these sent straight to your place of work. That way you can be a local hero by handing them out to everyone. That'd be awesome 😁👍

          • Cashmere on 15/06/2021 - 12:30

            @wowbigdeal: Haha, yes, true. Thank you for sharing this with us!

  • Fragluton on 28/05/2021 - 10:02

    Saw them at local garage but assumed they'd cost so didn't ask. Ordered some, will see if they turn up. Just one lot though, 20/25 is plenty to share around.

  • kish108 on 30/05/2021 - 13:14

    • wowbigdeal on 15/06/2021 - 23:38

      You got 400 units? You should put them on trade me with a $1 reserve. Good profit to be made.
