I used chinese tyre, which is absolutely nice no difference ❤

I love the Duratracs. I've had 3 sets now. Well because Goodyear won't make the sipping go all the way through, I'm going with their competition. I just don't understand why they would do all that revision and go cheap on the sipping. After 15k miles all the sipping is basically gone.

Just put a set on my car for the first time!

I was wondering what do you recommend for a 2022 BMW 440iI with the M sports package convertible that's all my channel optional tires?

All you have to do is a burnout for about 3 minutes on each tire....been working for me for over 40 years!! Perfectly round when done properly!!

How much?

I wish Hunter would come to Australia and teach the tyre how to do the tyre balaceing the tyre and how to do wheel alignment and make them to be better trades people

We have two Road Force balancers at the Firestone where I work. We rarely ever get to use the Road Force feature of the machine because it’s broken 80% of the time. We get it repaired, it “breaks” again. The factory rep has confirmed that we ARE using it correctly. We have two of these balancers and they are both broken constantly.

Who did this study, Chevron? That doesn't make ANY sense.

Oh yes you can 180 your tire on the rim and see if that works

Twisted Belts in the tire during manufacturing. Also you can spin balance your rims without a tire and see if the rims are actually true. I started spinning tires in 82 so nothing really has changed.

Stick with Michelin’s and you will rarely have this problem!!

I love my old duratracs on my sequoia but when looking at 5 new tires for my tacoma I went with wildpeaks at4w at $100 per tire cheaper. If they came out the same price as their old duratracs I would have bought them. Probably go with wildpeaks again when my sequoia needs a new set unless they drop the price.

Wrong you want a narrow tire in winter. It concentrates more weight into a smaller area and improves your traction immensely. Trust me I have been driving in snow for fifty five years. Thirty five of those years were plowing snow for a local school district. I always just had a rear wheel drive car, and only the last five years I had a front wheel drive car. Depending on the weather, I would drive to the school between midnight and two AM. And this was when tires were for the most part narrow or skinny or thin whatever you want to call them, but I always went very well on those slippery roads. I have noticed these days with cars having wider tires they do not go nearly as well.

Just make sure the winter tires you buy have sips those little slits in the tread go the full depth of the tread. Because if they do not after a season or two if they do not go all the way, they will be gone, and the traction is reduced considerably.

The big question, Jack is your car fixed?

Jack, could you review Nokians Tyre one.. please. an in depth test. How it performs in dry and wet. please

Where is the full report?

Our new Weatherpeaks installed in Jun-2023 were worn down to 3/32” by Sep-2024, after only 34,000 miles driven over one fall, one winter, and two summer seasons (i.e., nowhere close to the 70K limited mileage warranty value). Beware of mileage warranty values - they’re not always a good predictor of real-world tread wear.

My goodyear ..,,G800 LIGHT TRUCK .215-16 ..THAT WAS MADE IN AUSTRALIA .LASTED 80K,, AND WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO BALLANCE ..THE I BROUGHT .4 YEARS LATER BROUGHT EXACTLY SAME TYIER ,,G 800,, GOOD YEAR .MADE IN CHINA.. ITS 105K STILL ON THE ,UTE, Didn't not need any balancing In 5years ... Conclusion the exact same tyer made in china was 1000000,% better

i like the design and construction of the vid but you really have to tighten up the writing. repetition is really bad and you didn't say anything that added to my limited knowledge

Nice!

I love mine... I run these on both my 2020 GMC 3500HD AT4, and my newer 2024 Silverado LT Trail Boss LT...

Not sure it’s available in your market, but in China, the best rated brands are Chaoyang and Doublestar

Yeah, premium tires, road force balanced 3 times, still have vibration.

Why did we only have this problem most times with factory seconds in the 70s and 80s? Now I can't by premium tires that are all round.

China tires are may pops may pop today or tomorrow.

A tire balance machine is only as good as the person using it. Every balancer I've ever used has had a High Accuracy (coates) or Technical (Hunter) mode that does a much better job. The operator just has to be aware or give a shit about doing a quality job. It doesn't take any longer really, just might take an extra weight or slightly more weight.

My tires are at 4 /32 and I have been hydroplaning everywhere with this hurricane season.

aligning the balance point of the tire and the balance point of the rim makes a lot of sense, but with the tire mounted on the rim, it becomes a single rotating mass, so how can the machine still tell if the heavy side of the tire and the heavy side of the rim are not aligned? It should rotate and detect an imbalance as a whole rotating mass.

I broke a band in my tire. The rear of car was really bumpy. I thought strut or the springs. Luck man friend was honest. Shady place really could of put it to me

I wish people would stop calling wheels rims.

You get that air wobble sound when your window is down

Match mounting should be done in the first place, there should be a paint dot mark on the tire then match that mark with the valve stem. Usually works

Quality control is undermined by cost savings all the time in china unless it is managed by a reputable company. Remember we are riding on tires and any compromise may endanger our life.

There a great alternative to all seasons, but if your going to be driving in the worst winter has to offer there still not as good as dedicated winter tires. But if your going to run all seasons there a big improvement. great overview 👍

I want these tires on my cx5

Bent damaged wheels, very poorly made tires

My stepfathers tires were giving his car some slightly noticeable vibration. I checked them individually on a spin balancer where I worked for a major tire distributor. They all indicated they were properly balanced. So I put a spacer on the ground below the tires while spinning on the spin balancer and discovered that the tires were manufactured out of round by almost one fourth of an inch ! 😮 So he bought 4 new balancrd tires ; had them installed and the slight vibration he usrd to experience was gone !😊

AMINIATION!

I replaced hundred of tyres in my cars in the past 20 years, and it was few times I got luck to have perfect tyres, most of them weren’t. I tried top brands like Pirelli, Continental, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Dunlop, Hankook, Toyo, Yokohama and Cooper and only three Pirelli, Bridgestone and Yokohama were less prone to vibrations. You have to keep in mind that the way they store the tyres, will play a vital role in causing the tyre to vibrate and unfortunately no many shops pay good attention to storing tyres properly. Many occasions they found the tyres were defective and they had to replace them even though they were fitted brand new.

Where in this video was the runout of the wheel determined? That must be known to determine the best tire/wheel positioning. Guy asking the questions mentioned his "rims"...ugh...if it has a center, it is a wheel. Or it's hoodspeak.

My Sierra keeps throwing weights. It also keeps getting out of alignment. I have the lifetime balance/rotation as well as lifetime alignment from Pep Boys, and even though it doesn't cost me money every time I take it there, it still takes time. What would you suggest? I have regular highway, truck tires, not offroad/rough terrain treads, and it is a RWD 1500 2010 YM. All tie rod ends are new, as well as both side upper/lower ball joints and all four have new brakes. I just can't get rid of the vibrations and running out of alignment.

$203 per tire, still not cheap! they must be at least 18'' tires. I paid $125 last year for my 205/55r16 Kumho Wintercraft ice tires and they are very good. ( not chinese, made in Korea) Btw, you can get these Sailun for $194 right now in Quebec ( SEP.24.24) and the Firestone are $218 ( bigger difference) size: 225/60R18

I would much rather support the US or Europe manufacturer. I've had Sailun tires and honestly they were decent but politically, ethically and ecologically I will not buy them.

I have come to the conclusion that tire installers do not know how to operate a tire balancer. I gave up and bought my own balancer, a cheap Weaver China made balancer for around $1000.00 new. This solved all of my problems and proved to me the installers do not know what their doing, even using a $25.0000 dollar balancer. I would back time and time again only to have a shake in the wheel. I swear to God they just throw a wheel on the balancer any old way, they don't put in the right settings, spin it up and slap some weights on and hope. The problem is NOT the machine, its the operator.

Yeah, so why are we is such a hurry to have a war with China? Hell everything I own is made in China. What the hell is going on. Why fight your suppliers?

Not convinced. It may be usefull in some circumstances, with crap tyres and crap aftermarket rims but not worthwhile spending time on crap with an expensive machine. If the tyre runs up and down you can see it on the balancer and usually the tyre is bad, nothing wrong with the rim. If the rim is true then it does not matter how the tyre is rotated, it won't change anything. If the rim does not run true or is bent then replace it. High quality tyres run relatively true but you get the odd one slightly out, but you don't feel it if rim good. A good match balance is the way to go and a touch up balance after 5k to 10k km. The tyres do settle in a little. Soft sidewall tyres can flatspot and be problematic with balance also, one rim with a slight bend can be felt also after balancing.
