Description
Simply print a handful of these tiny and quick to print parts and spread them around. It comes handy to quickly check your tires once in a while, to see if you have the minimum profile that is required where you live. The numbers on each side state the length of the respective probe pin in millimeters.
For a much more advanced way of measuring you tire profile depths see:

If you don't trust the length of the probe pins, there even is a calibration and check tool for tire profile gauges:

This is a very simple to print part. I have tested it in PETG but I am sure it works just as well in PLA. As it is so tiny anyway, I do recommend 100% infill to make the probe pins strong.
You may want to introduce a color change to have the numbers printed in a different color. I have chosen to simply post-color the numbers with a black pen (edding 3000).
