Abstract
A data processor (13) has a receiver for receiving measurement data on tires (21, 22) attached to an automobile (2) from a tire gauge (11, 12), and a data displaying portion for processing and displaying the received measurement data on a display (326) in a predetermined form. The received measurement data includes pressure value and tread depth of the tires (21, 22). The tread depth is measured on three points of inside, middle and outside in width direction of a tread surface of the tire. The received data is displayed in graphic representing positions of the tires (21, 22) of the automobile (2) and in a graph coloured corresponding to the measurement value.
