As much as I agree from the perspective of this video that the 3x pricier setup on hi truck isn't performing at a major advantage. It doesn't showcase the factor of how well will the high truck's parts last. How many miles will the tires get on them, how long will the suspension perform at top-notch, and will the Beadlock wheels eventually take an impact that cracks them beyond repair?
I love the fact that in this series they're not ruining the low-truck, in the 350z high-vs-low they destroyed the low-car and put the worst parts they could find, I like that this is a budget, yet awesome build nonetheless. A great truck to take off-roading while still respecting some sort of budget! Great job Donut!
It’s different with trucks tbh everything is more expensive cause parts are beefier and stronger then on cars so a lot of companies don’t even try to make aftermarket parts for trucks
Road noise takes time to manifest itself…check back in 30 days so road wear, alignment nuances, and tire rubber composition come into play. Loving the series.
Spot on. One thing they only briefly touched on was the grippiness of HT. Just like race tires, grippier means it wears out quicker, *but* offers a way smoother experience off-roading, tighter control and is less likely to chunk out. And someone who two-tracks regularly would probably have a Hi set and a Lo set. Sidenote, I love LT's steelies. Reminds me of those classic American Racing black steelies from the 90s ( back when chrome was king and those were the *only* black wheel option... Oh how the turns table).
i love how this is isn’t just “hi-low”, this is “car bois learn how to play in the dirt”. I honestly didn’t think hi-low could get any better BUT this series with some high-quality Tacos just turned this series up to an ELEVEN
Realized this when hi-team doubted lower tire pressure would make a difference... or maybe they were staying in character because it's literally the cheapest "mod" there is.
@@bmax98 Yea if I'm off pavement I dump air imediately down to 18psi then just stay in 2wd until I start spinning tires (unless intentional :-D). Not only does it give you better traction but if you have not so nice suspension it makes things more comfortable too. Edit: Sand gets 4x4 imediately and even lower psi
When spotting for someone while off-roading, use "driver" and "passenger" for directions instead of "left" and "right." Helps both parties be on the same page.
@Gareth Tucker for off-roading it’s easier to use driver and passenger though. In the US you would be hard pressed to find an off-road rig that is right hand drive so driver and passenger is the easier method. Not discounting the way you have experience in, but for what they’re doing it’s easier to use driver and passenger commands instead
@Gareth Tucker it’s truly up to the individual. In the US specifically we primarily use driver/passenger since virtually every vehicle that is on the road in the US has the driver on the same side. I don’t have enough experience in other countries but we use it that way even on single seaters since so many people have it hardwired that driver is always to the left and passenger to the right. Not to mention there is very little confusion since you’re working with terms that cannot be mixed up. Saying left hand down could confuse a driver on whether you mean their left or your left. While not highly likely, I have seen it happen. It’s the same reason that the machinery I work on doesn’t use left or right. We say operator or non operator since that removes any possible confusion with our service department
@@SuperTheast Learned in the military and we were not allowed to talk when spotting, only hand signals was accepted. If you had to explain something you stopped the driver and walked over to talk to him before going back to spotting. Trying to talk people through an obstacle is kind of a loosing prospect if the surroundings are noisy, and sitting in a truck like these doesn't make it easier. So establish a set of hand signals and stop yelling... Now driving with a spotter can be stressful as you have to ignore what *YOU THE DRIVER* feel would be needed and only do exactly what the spotter is signaling you no matter how much you feel you know better.
@@blahorgaslisk7763 if I’m backing someone up with a trailer I definitely use hand signals. I do mostly trail crawling so it’s quiet enough that just talking does the trick. It’s definitely up to the individuals that are navigating the obstacles though. I’ve seen people do hand signals only and others that mixed them in. I’m not trying to say one way is better than the rest since there is no perfect way
They should've got the hilux, not only can that survive the ocean, it can survive being on top of a 20storey building as it gets blown up. Clarkson proved it.
First off, you guys do some good videos! The difference in price isn't necessarily just traction and looks. The build of the tire matters. How tuff they are, usually, the more plies a tire has, the more they can resist punctures. Many years ago, I saw some sweet looking mud terrains at pep boys for under 150 a tire(if I remember correctly). After reading the sidewall and seeing that they had only 1 or 2 ply tread(normal for street tires) I walked out. Keep up the good work fellas
I run the dunes basically weekly, (10 minutes away). I air down to 6 lbs with my Toyo open country at's. Rarely even have to use 4 wheel drive. I took off my BFG's to try the toyo's and will never go back.
@@mattlane2282 you can actually buy chlorinated brake Kleen of the shelf at O'Reilly's, but the chlorinated stuff is like $8 a bottle, while the same size bottle of name brand non-chlorinated goes for like $2.50, and store brand goes for like $1.50 a bottle. The non chlorinated stuff burns a lot better, and the chlorinated stuff cleans slightly better (they use it to clean instrument panels on oil rigs here that get splattered with crude) also if you want to buy more than 1-2 bottles of chlorinated brake kleen you have to have a commercial account and/or a certificate/license.

I run Kenda Klever 35x12.50 x17 on my Jeep Gladiator as year round use in Fairbanks Alaska. The tires grip the roads very well on the Snow and icy roads here in the far North . Great tires . I'll buy more later
As someone with nearly 20 years of offroad experience I can tell you that there is no direct correlation between price and the overall performance of a tire offroad. (meaning DOT approved tires, not stickies etc) There are many tires out today that are trendy, therefore demanding a higher price tag. But that doesn't necessarily make them better.
@@DieselBadger60 If price was only determined by quality this wouldn't be a series. Sure better rubber costs more to a certain extent but marketing and branding definitely effect it equally as much like with any other product. Just look at the prices of Continental vs General tires
I have that same exact truck as the silver low truck. Identical. I'm into overlanding and planning out a build just like the ones yall had on the show. Perfect for comparison and now I know what I want to do. BTW, I've been watching this show for years, and love the personalities on camera. Always a fun experience watching the show. Much love to the show
If I had to pay 100 bucks for a tire change I'd seriously consider doing it my self and just pay for the balancing. In Europe I get my 18* tires changed for the equivalent 25 USD.
I’m sure it’s been considered but Aaron is now in formula drift (if you didn’t already know)so I’m sure that would take priority over donut for him. I suspect this season was put off till Aaron was free to come film.
I agree. I had the chance to meet with Aaron a few times at drift events. He’s super humble and very knowledgeable. We all had a good laugh whn his lower control arm was making spaghetti out of the inner barrel of his wheel out at Sonoma
Considering these are meant to be “Daily Drivers” that can be taken off road on the weekends, I think mileage on the tires should definitely be considered between the two!
Luckily these are light-duty trucks so you can throw anything on them. If you're in a diesel truck, you need to stick to tires with higher ply-counts, aka more $$$.
Ive been in the off road industry since the early 1970’s and I have been telling customers the same thing since the early 1980’s. You guys hit the nail on the head, if part A is 500$ more than part B will you receive a 500$ improvement. If you only get a 100$ improvement then I always felt the lower cost (unless of course you have unlimited cash flow) was a better choice. Starter fluid is even better and more explosive! You’re right 80-100$ to mount and balance those non bead lock tires, that’s a deal unless you have a mega buck balancer sitting in your garage. I’m very familiar with Gorman, that very hill can be idled up that hill with stock tires and if you’re on a real budget a 300$ lunchbox locker. But hey the glitter looks trick driving on the I5 freeway. Entertaining video gentlemen!
Couldn't agree more, the Nitto's will out-perform the cheap knockoffs in every scientific test, but this was an entertainment test and absolutely fantastic. 💯
Low truck had way too much air pressure when he ran the pipes. You could see it bouncing where the High truck molded around the pipes. Air pressure means so much. H/Ts pressured down to 18psi will out perform A/Ts running 40psi all day.
Bouncing is probably caused by the suspensions, not tyre pressure (they talked about this at the end of s3:e1), because they were all running 15 psi iirc
11:20- this part kills me high team with bead locks disagree that airing down will increase traction....the entire purpose of a bead lock is so you can run 6psi and have a nice contact patch that grips and molds to rocks giving you the maximum amount of grip that the tire is capable of and not db (debead) in the process
At 3:30 he explained the purpose of the wheel ring clamping on the tire was to "uh get through a lot more stuff". What more were you expecting in the video lol
He also chose nittos at an insane price for psuedo 33's. I just bought 34's this week and while looking for a friend without a CMC I saw those in stock online for 289 in that size.
Not rule #1 but I agree and was thinking the same thing. I’m usually at 10psi for general offroading and 8psi for the rocks and sand. Also not on beadlocks just $60 steelies
Great thing is, I purchased and mounted a set of Kenda Klever tires 2 months before seeing this video and I'm impressed and extremely satisfied with my tires💪🏾 Another awesome video guys thanks!!
As someone who does a lot of 4wding it hurt me when I first heard the "I don't think lower tyre pressures will help." Tyre pressure is make or break in a lot of off-road scenarios. Also a big difference you'll see in cheap to expensive tyres is noise, and longevity. How are they performing after 80,000km. That's where you'll find a big difference. Along with puncture resistance, in Australia when you're travelling remote on track you want a tyre that's got a much stronger sidewall so you don't get punctures from stakes and other sharp objects off- road.
Everything is high price at the moment cause of covid, every used truck is worth almost double what they used to be. Its hard to be in the market for a truck right now considering if u do buy one and then prices go back down you'll lose thousands.
I love watching people learning to off road. It brings a tear to my eye. Keep up these great truck videos guys! Loving it! What a lot of viewers might not know is the majority of off roading is driver skill/technique. Tires need to be tested in mud/sand/rain/snow/ice/rocks/etc.... Love it!
I have the kenda klever rts and love them. They are beastly and work really well in wet and snow conditions. (Missed getting a snow rating by 3 points, could have just been driver error that cost them the rating). Great overall tires. I got my 35 by 12.5 tires for my tundra for under 1000. Cant beat that
I'm actually running the kenda klever R/T 33x12.5r18 on my 2nd gen taco and love them. Ive ran coopers on everything up until this set and ill definitely be going with the kendas again. Mud, rain, snow, wet grass are no issue. Ive yet to actually need 4wd.
Love seeing first gen tacos on LoHi, but having someone around with some off-road experience would be pretty helpful. Both of those trucks could handle all those obstacles in their stock form
James: “yours look like they’re from World War II, ours look like they’re from the freaking terminator” Also James: “I think I prefer the look of low trucks tyres”
Anyone considering off-road tires needs to keep in mind wear and puncture resistance as well, which weren't covered in this video. Comparing a Nitto to a Kenda that both have full tread doesn't really showcase this, but if you showed them next to each other after 15k miles you would start to understand where some of the price difference comes in. Puncture / tear resistance would also show the value in the Nittos. I've pulled countless nails from my Nitto mud grapplers with no need for a patch, and guys out west rub them against some seriously sharp rocks without the wall opening up. I doubt you could say the same for the Kenda. Either way awesome vid as usual, and buy what you can afford.
I mean yes, they may last 10% longer, but they’re twice as expensive. It just isn’t worth it. Hell most off brand AT tires have a 40-50k mile warranty these days too
@@skyerunner I don't know much about Tacomas but if they're anything like our Australian counterpart the hilux then this year model wouldn't come stock with a rear locker
Can’t begin to share how much I love that you’ve entered the off road content market. You could start a whole separate off-road channel and hit 1mil subs within a few months. Keep up the amazing content!
Low truck is actually getting some pretty decent parts. It’s like hi-trok and mid-truck. Also air down those beadlocks to like 8psi and the steelies to like 12
That’s what I was thinking. They could be using $50/ea steelies from summit racing, a $300 eBay lift, and some federal tires. These tests are also pretty bad. They don’t show the true difference between high and low products. You buy good tires for traction, but also puncture protection, lifetime, sidewall strength, warranties, wear patterns, etc. But they didn’t do any high speed traction test. And those Icons shine in speed over desert terrain, not slow crawling
I prefer that for low truck. The last season they constantly used the cheapest crappiest thing they could find. Which yeah it worked but in a lot of cases they were just cheap bad quality garbage. Id rather see something thats cheaper, but still a quality product.
@@mikerossi7634 I agree with the puncture protection. I run BFG K02 tires and over 20 years in the desert I have never had a flat. I rock crawl some but a lot of high speed desert fun so I am sold on K02 tires.
@@karlschwaber7006 yep BFG KO2s are solid and worth it! I switched over to Falken Wildpeaks a few years and haven't had a single issue either. I ran them for a while on a 2004 Suburban and that thing RIPPED forest roads, now I have them on my 3rd gen Tacoma TRD OR. Back in February I bought 4x 265/75r16 for $720 out the door for the non-LT version. Best deal in high quality ATs in my opinion.
One thing that was not discussed is the amount of weight used to balance the tires. Tires that start out well balanced usually wear and maintain balance better.
The fact that you guys bought Tacomas has me smiling and excited for this season. I have a 1998 Toyota 4Runner and once I get everything repaired, I'll have some references 😉

*laughs in 2psi on steel rims with 38"* which is honestly not the lowest we go, i've gone as low as 0.5 psi to save my ass, but then im up to 2 psi right away. have never debeaded. and i've watched people with beadlocks debead while running the same pressure. it's all about skill and how your wheels are :D
@@arnarmar96 the type of tire makes a massive difference. My buddy on 38" tractor tires and run basically valveless without bead locks but my Patagonias wanna pop off below 12psi
@@SketchyAsFunk Sure does, but the rim also makes an even bigger difference. for example, if your tyre is 14.50" wide, like in my case, you want to be running a 14" wide rim. atleast for snow and mud, but for rock crawling i know that is another story.
If that was the point than beadlocks hi-team used are out ,as most places define them as "offroad use only". Steeles for the dub 🤣I like the look of the alloy rims rims, but durable they are not. Good for sandy desert stuff or maybe mud, but rocks and brittle metal alloys are not the best of friends.
Y’all should bring out an experienced off-road driver to level the playing field. I think That would make things a lot more fair. Keep up the good work!
Kinda like a stig from the OG top gear. Just a non biased driver to truly compare only the machinery 👌 that would be cool. I would still wanna see the guys driving it too 😆
Back when my truck was stock, I was off roading up in the mountains and messed up and got it stuck in a few feet of snow. I aired down the A/T street tires down to 12 psi and on stock wheels drove it out and made it into town to air up my tires. I drove 15 miles on 12psi, no beadlock issues.
Tip when installing a tyre with brakecleaner and a torch. Take out the inner part of the valve. This will prevent the tire from going vacuum as was seen in the video.
We definitely removed it but maybe the tire just had a ton of volume and the flame ate all the oxygen? I think next time me and Nolan will be F1 fast styles on it👌🏾
@@aaronparker3559 good point im comparing it to just simple size road use tires these are way bigger en de valve size didnt change thats why it still went vacuum i asume.
You can get screw on fittings, use a length of hose back to a ball valve then more hose back to the compressor. Ball valve closed and compressor on / full tank, light up the fluid. Then from a safe distance you can dump high pressure air in very quickly. We also normally use a gas like "start ya bastard". Again, this is done with the inner valve steam removed so that the air can flow faster. Once the tire is sealed up, you can take off the fill hose, replace the valve and pump up.
Sorry, but your tests are flawed. Climbing a the same complete length of dirt hill does not say if one set of tires is better then the other. It just says both sets "pass" that test. You need a hill that progressively increases in difficulty so that not even a tracked vehicle can make it to the top. Now that no vehicle can "pass" the test, you can compare how far along each fails and gather REAL data. A skilled offroader can air down any set of tires to as low as 10-15 psi. Just drive slowly and don't steer unless moving forwards / backwards. Bead locks let you air down to even 3 psi. You also need to test in thick mud. Some features of better off road tires are more plyable sidewalls, allowing better flex and thus a larger contact patch. Deep chunky tread on the sidewalls helps when crawling through the mud. Even the ability of different tread designs changes the ability to throw mud off the wheels and "self-clean". Driving for a while at a moderate speed will normally throw the mud off, but spinning your tires whilst struggling for grip is where quality tires make a difference. I've had "no-name" tires that turned into clay soaked racing slicks while quality tires on the same hill gripped like snow chains. There is of course a balance point at which point the advantage isn't worth the cost, but your tests haven't reached that point.
I have a pair of 32” Nito ridge grapplers on my gen 2 Tacoma and they are great. But 15k miles later they got louder. I have done proper alignments, ran proper psi and rotated every 4k miles.

Realized this when hi-team doubted lower tire pressure would make a difference... or maybe they were staying in character because it's literally the cheapest "mod" there is.
@@ajc1080 Right?? that’s like off-roading 101 😂
@@bmax98 Yea if I'm off pavement I dump air imediately down to 18psi then just stay in 2wd until I start spinning tires (unless intentional :-D). Not only does it give you better traction but if you have not so nice suspension it makes things more comfortable too. Edit: Sand gets 4x4 imediately and even lower psi
When spotting for someone while off-roading, use "driver" and "passenger" for directions instead of "left" and "right." Helps both parties be on the same page.
@Gareth Tucker for off-roading it’s easier to use driver and passenger though. In the US you would be hard pressed to find an off-road rig that is right hand drive so driver and passenger is the easier method. Not discounting the way you have experience in, but for what they’re doing it’s easier to use driver and passenger commands instead
@Gareth Tucker it’s truly up to the individual. In the US specifically we primarily use driver/passenger since virtually every vehicle that is on the road in the US has the driver on the same side. I don’t have enough experience in other countries but we use it that way even on single seaters since so many people have it hardwired that driver is always to the left and passenger to the right. Not to mention there is very little confusion since you’re working with terms that cannot be mixed up. Saying left hand down could confuse a driver on whether you mean their left or your left. While not highly likely, I have seen it happen. It’s the same reason that the machinery I work on doesn’t use left or right. We say operator or non operator since that removes any possible confusion with our service department
@@SuperTheast Learned in the military and we were not allowed to talk when spotting, only hand signals was accepted. If you had to explain something you stopped the driver and walked over to talk to him before going back to spotting. Trying to talk people through an obstacle is kind of a loosing prospect if the surroundings are noisy, and sitting in a truck like these doesn't make it easier. So establish a set of hand signals and stop yelling...
Now driving with a spotter can be stressful as you have to ignore what *YOU THE DRIVER* feel would be needed and only do exactly what the spotter is signaling you no matter how much you feel you know better.
@@blahorgaslisk7763 if I’m backing someone up with a trailer I definitely use hand signals. I do mostly trail crawling so it’s quiet enough that just talking does the trick. It’s definitely up to the individuals that are navigating the obstacles though. I’ve seen people do hand signals only and others that mixed them in. I’m not trying to say one way is better than the rest since there is no perfect way

First off, you guys do some good videos! The difference in price isn't necessarily just traction and looks. The build of the tire matters. How tuff they are, usually, the more plies a tire has, the more they can resist punctures. Many years ago, I saw some sweet looking mud terrains at pep boys for under 150 a tire(if I remember correctly). After reading the sidewall and seeing that they had only 1 or 2 ply tread(normal for street tires) I walked out. Keep up the good work fellas
Aaron communicates like he’s speaking to himself - a competitive experienced driver.
Was just about to say the same thing
I know when Zack and James were like "deflating gives more traction? That's stupid" every off-road bro was into their screen
Exactly my thoughts
Don't gotta be an off-road bro to know who was right. It's just common sense. Same thing works in snow.
I run the dunes basically weekly, (10 minutes away). I air down to 6 lbs with my Toyo open country at's. Rarely even have to use 4 wheel drive. I took off my BFG's to try the toyo's and will never go back.
Did they try airing down the stock tires?

So lighting chlorinated brake clean... will kill you.... this of course was likely not chlorinated as it is illegal to sell in most locations...
@@mattlane2282 you can actually buy chlorinated brake Kleen of the shelf at O'Reilly's, but the chlorinated stuff is like $8 a bottle, while the same size bottle of name brand non-chlorinated goes for like $2.50, and store brand goes for like $1.50 a bottle. The non chlorinated stuff burns a lot better, and the chlorinated stuff cleans slightly better (they use it to clean instrument panels on oil rigs here that get splattered with crude) also if you want to buy more than 1-2 bottles of chlorinated brake kleen you have to have a commercial account and/or a certificate/license.

I run Kenda Klever 35x12.50 x17 on my Jeep Gladiator as year round use in Fairbanks Alaska. The tires grip the roads very well on the Snow and icy roads here in the far North . Great tires . I'll buy more later
As someone with nearly 20 years of offroad experience I can tell you that there is no direct correlation between price and the overall performance of a tire offroad. (meaning DOT approved tires, not stickies etc) There are many tires out today that are trendy, therefore demanding a higher price tag. But that doesn't necessarily make them better.
It’s the material they are made out of that reflects the cost bruh
@@DieselBadger60 If price was only determined by quality this wouldn't be a series. Sure better rubber costs more to a certain extent but marketing and branding definitely effect it equally as much like with any other product. Just look at the prices of Continental vs General tires

Do not listen to Aaron. He has the skill level of a teenager with their first car.

Ive been in the off road industry since the early 1970’s and I have been telling customers the same thing since the early 1980’s. You guys hit the nail on the head, if part A is 500$ more than part B will you receive a 500$ improvement. If you only get a 100$ improvement then I always felt the lower cost (unless of course you have unlimited cash flow) was a better choice. Starter fluid is even better and more explosive! You’re right 80-100$ to mount and balance those non bead lock tires, that’s a deal unless you have a mega buck balancer sitting in your garage. I’m very familiar with Gorman, that very hill can be idled up that hill with stock tires and if you’re on a real budget a 300$ lunchbox locker. But hey the glitter looks trick driving on the I5 freeway. Entertaining video gentlemen!
I really appreciate the Chris fix “soapy worder” reference.

I would have welded on some DIY bead locks from ballistic fab

"soapy worder" I see you Zach, watching chrisfix
Low truck had way too much air pressure when he ran the pipes. You could see it bouncing where the High truck molded around the pipes.
Air pressure means so much. H/Ts pressured down to 18psi will out perform A/Ts running 40psi all day.
Bouncing is probably caused by the suspensions, not tyre pressure (they talked about this at the end of s3:e1), because they were all running 15 psi iirc
this was the most passive aggressive episode of anything i’ve ever seen 😂
You could feel the tension between the teams and teammates. I bet there are some interesting arguments that didn’t t make the cut 🤣
James' incoherent yelling from the top of the hill is the FUNNIEST thing I've heard in a while 🤣🤣🤣
Love that “soapy wooder” reference Chrisfix would love this
Ye ikr underrated
Really am appreciative of this series as I’m about to upgrade the suspension and eventually tires on my truck. Thank you thank you gentlemen!
I love that little animation of the mini trucks in the intro. Fantastic production value
i hope they turn them into stockys!
11:20- this part kills me high team with bead locks disagree that airing down will increase traction....the entire purpose of a bead lock is so you can run 6psi and have a nice contact patch that grips and molds to rocks giving you the maximum amount of grip that the tire is capable of and not db (debead) in the process
Like every OR was screamin at the monitor. WHAT THE EVER LOVIN TRUCK are you talking about?
At 3:30 he explained the purpose of the wheel ring clamping on the tire was to "uh get through a lot more stuff". What more were you expecting in the video lol

As someone who does a lot of 4wding it hurt me when I first heard the "I don't think lower tyre pressures will help." Tyre pressure is make or break in a lot of off-road scenarios. Also a big difference you'll see in cheap to expensive tyres is noise, and longevity. How are they performing after 80,000km. That's where you'll find a big difference. Along with puncture resistance, in Australia when you're travelling remote on track you want a tyre that's got a much stronger sidewall so you don't get punctures from stakes and other sharp objects off-
road.
i was looking if anyone mentioned tire pressure already, especially with the beadlocks. take advantage of the extra contact patch.
thats exactly what i was thinking/.... longevity.
Don't be fooled by the hosts beards, they are man babies that only got their licenses last year
Psi is everything, if they aired down the stock tyres they still would have done better

I love watching people learning to off road. It brings a tear to my eye. Keep up these great truck videos guys! Loving it! What a lot of viewers might not know is the majority of off roading is driver skill/technique. Tires need to be tested in mud/sand/rain/snow/ice/rocks/etc.... Love it!
I have the kenda klever rts and love them. They are beastly and work really well in wet and snow conditions. (Missed getting a snow rating by 3 points, could have just been driver error that cost them the rating). Great overall tires. I got my 35 by 12.5 tires for my tundra for under 1000. Cant beat that
Just bought a pair same size. I get snow in the NE. I can't wait
“Budget doesn’t have an impact on doing things correctly” spittin
Mounting tires by hand, IS still doing things correctly. Just because you have a machine to do it, doesn't make it correct. Ask any 88M in the Army.
I'll take a scratch on the inside of my rims any day
This showed everyone that you don’t need a crazy expensive setup to off-road! You can build with a budget and do fine!
Honestly mud terrains aired down on a stock 4x4 is enough to do a lot of trails. I did it for awhile.
Aaron needs his own show. Man can drive and build, plus he's got that steel cool factor.
🤘🏾thanks homie. I love taking on new challenges. We'll see if we can come up with something dope
I'm actually running the kenda klever R/T 33x12.5r18 on my 2nd gen taco and love them. Ive ran coopers on everything up until this set and ill definitely be going with the kendas again. Mud, rain, snow, wet grass are no issue. Ive yet to actually need 4wd.

Anyone considering off-road tires needs to keep in mind wear and puncture resistance as well, which weren't covered in this video. Comparing a Nitto to a Kenda that both have full tread doesn't really showcase this, but if you showed them next to each other after 15k miles you would start to understand where some of the price difference comes in. Puncture / tear resistance would also show the value in the Nittos. I've pulled countless nails from my Nitto mud grapplers with no need for a patch, and guys out west rub them against some seriously sharp rocks without the wall opening up. I doubt you could say the same for the Kenda. Either way awesome vid as usual, and buy what you can afford.
The most difference in cheap or expensive tires is when the wear down starts. Expensive tires probably will last longer time.
Depends on the rubber softness. For All terrains they will last years regardless. Expensive tires are softer for better grip
@@jeffmayo6002 guaranteed Nitto will outlast the kenda
I mean yes, they may last 10% longer, but they’re twice as expensive. It just isn’t worth it.
Hell most off brand AT tires have a 40-50k mile warranty these days too
The nitto will not only last longer, but they'll have a milage warranty to back it up. And they'll wear significantly better.
Negative. The speed of a tire wearing down mostly depends on the rubber compound. The softer the compound the quicker it wears off.

Low truck is actually getting some pretty decent parts. It’s like hi-trok and mid-truck. Also air down those beadlocks to like 8psi and the steelies to like 12
That’s what I was thinking. They could be using $50/ea steelies from summit racing, a $300 eBay lift, and some federal tires. These tests are also pretty bad. They don’t show the true difference between high and low products. You buy good tires for traction, but also puncture protection, lifetime, sidewall strength, warranties, wear patterns, etc. But they didn’t do any high speed traction test. And those Icons shine in speed over desert terrain, not slow crawling
I prefer that for low truck.
The last season they constantly used the cheapest crappiest thing they could find. Which yeah it worked but in a lot of cases they were just cheap bad quality garbage. Id rather see something thats cheaper, but still a quality product.
@@mikerossi7634 I agree with the puncture protection. I run BFG K02 tires and over 20 years in the desert I have never had a flat. I rock crawl some but a lot of high speed desert fun so I am sold on K02 tires.

Back in February I bought 4x 265/75r16 for $720 out the door for the non-LT version. Best deal in high quality ATs in my opinion.
Y'all need to do a high speed test like the Baja trucks. That's where those coilovers will really shine with those external resi's to keep them cool
A mint 400 lap
One thing that was not discussed is the amount of weight used to balance the tires. Tires that start out well balanced usually wear and maintain balance better.
The welded dif vs full lockers will be the most drastic change guaranteed

Tip when installing a tyre with brakecleaner and a torch. Take out the inner part of the valve. This will prevent the tire from going vacuum as was seen in the video.

Then from a safe distance you can dump high pressure air in very quickly.
We also normally use a gas like "start ya bastard".
Again, this is done with the inner valve steam removed so that the air can flow faster.
Once the tire is sealed up, you can take off the fill hose, replace the valve and pump up.
Sorry, but your tests are flawed.
Climbing a the same complete length of dirt hill does not say if one set of tires is better then the other.
It just says both sets "pass" that test.
You need a hill that progressively increases in difficulty so that not even a tracked vehicle can make it to the top.
Now that no vehicle can "pass" the test, you can compare how far along each fails and gather REAL data.
A skilled offroader can air down any set of tires to as low as 10-15 psi.
Just drive slowly and don't steer unless moving forwards / backwards.
Bead locks let you air down to even 3 psi.
You also need to test in thick mud.
Some features of better off road tires are more plyable sidewalls, allowing better flex and thus a larger contact patch.
Deep chunky tread on the sidewalls helps when crawling through the mud.
Even the ability of different tread designs changes the ability to throw mud off the wheels and "self-clean".
Driving for a while at a moderate speed will normally throw the mud off, but spinning your tires whilst struggling for grip is where quality tires make a difference.
I've had "no-name" tires that turned into clay soaked racing slicks while quality tires on the same hill gripped like snow chains.
There is of course a balance point at which point the advantage isn't worth the cost, but your tests haven't reached that point.
"can take it anywhere except the ocean" jeremy clarkson proved it can be taken to the ocean and survive
Not that truck.. but a Toyota yes
Keith, That was one of the best series I've ever witnessed, ONE TOUGH SON OF A BITCH OF A TOYOTA.
Not to forget he once used a Nissan navara to cross the English Channel.
top gear , jeremy clarkson took a toyota to the ocean and after being in sea water for couple of hours it still turn on!
I have a pair of 32” Nito ridge grapplers on my gen 2 Tacoma and they are great. But 15k miles later they got louder. I have done proper alignments, ran proper psi and rotated every 4k miles.
Aaron is so good on this series, especially teamed with Nolan.
Nolan weighs him down, tbh
@@kindbrute4640 Nolan HAS to weigh him down or it won't be fair
@@kindbrute4640 well james weighs down hitruck/car team , all he does is complain , so both teams are perfectly balanced
Right both Father and Son weigh down each Team
