Dude, absolutely lost it
One of the things they didn't talk about with tires is sidewall durability, which is extremely important offroading. I'm a firm believer there are a few things not to skimp on building a vehicle. Tires, brakes, and lighting. Honestly the low trucks tires are not the cheapest you could go, it seems the whole purpose of lo truck is to be a BUDGET build as opposed to the cheapest parts you can find. Personally I think that's going to speak to the new enthusiasts a lot more by demonstrating that you don't need to break the bank to get acceptable performance!
Not just that, when they start to have mileage cheap tires tend to cup quite a bit and sometimes are impossible to balance
Agreed 💯
@@evadvalcourt those Kenda tires aren't low quality, Kenda is a value brand but they've been around for a long time making car, motorcycle, and ATV tires, they're just new to the truck tire game, but Kenda is designing their truck tire line out of their facility in Ohio.
@Semaj Niffirg also bicycle tires, anyone who needs cheaper tires I always recomend kendas at my shop as the offer decent performance at a much lower price
@@evadvalcourtidk I’ve seen 2500 dollar bfgs cup as well as coopers. Both on brand new trucks. I wasn’t open to trying different brands until you have to replace MTs every 20-30k miles. I’ve tried a few “off brands” and so far have had success with them.
2 years later the 800 dollar tires ARE 1500 dollars, and the 1500 dollar tires are unaffordable 😅
“Donut Media won’t influence me to spend a mortgage payment on tires...”
Donut Media:
I didn't expect shinobu to be into trucks
Yay I’m the second reply
Donut Media: Sikeee
Fourth I guess..
they literally said the opposite
there's a point when you realize there's a deminishing returns on performance per extra dollar spent. this series really highlights this factor, and willing to bet is the entire premise of the series
Exactly, the more money doesn’t always mean the best. I really like the price of those low team tires, especially after a lift kit…
@@ClaytonNeuner I don't know about saying that more money doesn't mean a better product. It would be better to say that at a point, it isn't worth the difference
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?
dont go cheap, go inexpensive
@@phil16 yeah
I LOVE the whole high/low series. You guys are awesome. Keep it up, Donut!

Good job
"Let 'er eat!"
I’m glad they brought back the series One of my favorites
If they had tested the Milestar Patagonias they would have slayed most tires they tested at their low price point hehe they are absolutely silent and the traction is almost unbelievable. Nittos are fantastic though and worth that cost for how long they last
Same do miss the z's tho:(
@@errhka I agree they should have tested mud terrains. I would never spend that much on all terrains but I do plenty of offroading to justify buying MTs for my daily.
Favorite thing they do...
Me too
I am 100% feeling Nolan's frustration here! Budget does not mean sloppy, you can still do the job right on a dime.
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
Zach's transformation into Homeless Emperor is almost complete

@@jimothymayhorn same I chuckled when I saw it htough
Just started watching the series and honestly I prefer low truck, I feel like relatively cost efficient upgrades are kinda the spirit of off-roading.
I like hi trucks tires more, but everything else I think lo truck is better. It honestly looks way better and the wheels were literally 1/4 of the price
In the last series...the "low" options included some really cheap chintzy stuff. I love this truck series and the low products are still solid.
I like the toys that hi-truck gets, but you are 100% right, working on a budget is more in the spirit of off-roading.
@@Magucci13 lll my
Haha same. My truck is the 05 Sierra 1/2 ton equivalent of low truck. 1" lift/level, RC shocks,Tyger Automotive amazon flares, Aries bull bar, Amazon 20" light bar, 6 high mod (when I turn on my brights my fog lights, high and low beams come on all together) reverse camera, better than aftermarket brake pads, soon I'm going from 265 70 17s to 285 70 17s. Anyone have tire suggestions?
This was a great comparison video showing that anyone can enjoy the 4X4 experience and not break the bank! Great episode!

Lol, my 50 dollar mudtires did awesome. Being on a 2000lb sidekick helps, that thing is already an atv basically
Me: Last years worn out all seasons.
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.
I wish you could retweet RUclips comments
Todd, EXACTLY, put some miles on them & see how they change.
100% correct. When I bought my KM3s I was like wow these are pretty quiet. 2 months later it sounded like my truck was a bee hive lmao
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).
Mans spittin' serious facts
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
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
I love the Chris Fix "Soapy Wooder" reference, made me laugh lol
Same man I was looking for this comment
And you damn spoiled me😢😢😩
Came here for this comment. "Just need some soapy wooder"
ruclips.net/video/wI8XOHSSwFc/видео.html🙏
Not really a Chris fix reference. A lot of people say this lol
When offroading, SKILL LEVEL is every bit as important as the mods. I've seen guys with open diffs do amazing things. Don't discount Skill level boys!
But then you're abusing the front diffs. Imho weld the rear and drive it in rwd, you can do 90% of obstacles and keep the wear on the weaker front ends down .
facts
@@0xsergy that sounds like the lowest of low car lol
This is so true, a mate of mine does alot of ofroading in his daily/almost stock suzuki samurai and beats so many trucks with hella mods
Brings up the old phrase...
All The Gear... No Idea.
Just because you have a fat wallet, doesn't mean you're getting around that course.
You guys are like the myth busters for car parts, love it
11:02 is hands down one of my favorite clips of donut
Mine too so underrated clip of complete randomness 😂
S P A Z Z I N G
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
The words you were looking for were port and starboard
Aaron communicates like he’s speaking to himself - a competitive experienced driver.
Was just about to say the same thing
Id be curious to see if the stock tires aired down would of made it up the hill. Cool season!
It’s a Tacoma I can almost guarantee you that it would have but not as smoothly
It’s a Tacoma I can almost guarantee you that it would have but not as smoothly
James in the first episode: "We'll keep coming back to the Buff Horseshoe every week until we get all the way around!"
Episode 2: they make it all the way around.
Means something harder is coming! I won't be surprised if they go to an actual off roading trip for the last ep
@@karlg1535 they legit said that was the plan for this whole thing

That area has a pretty wicked Boulder climb course. You can kinda see it in their hill climb section of this video, it's off to the left of where they were going up at.
There are basicly a bunch of progressivly harder hill climbs up that hill. Which I mite add the camera doesn't do justice, that hill is much steeper than it looks on camera... well at least from the driver's seat it dose 🤣
Thank you guys.
you all rocks.
Its very helpful.
Im going now to a budget AT Tires.
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
If they used a heavier truck, the "low" tire would be a lot more expensive bc you can throw anything on a Tacoma.
ruclips.net/video/wI8XOHSSwFc/видео.html
If they would have skipped the plasti-dip and body kit Locar would have been a nice ride (after they swapped out the ebay coilovers).
Trucks are more modular than cars
I would love to see them in the next season of Hi Low trying to restore a classic old car. That would be awesome!
DONT JINX IT
This is season 3
Maybe moneypit season 3 can be Nolan’s imperial
@@BiopicDust this is season 2
I second that
Guys I like your videos, keep it up. Practical, real-life tests.
I would take low teams tires for the cheap price and high teams wheels for the security of the bead lock.
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?
@@ADBATT52 these two guys are a joke, they don't have a clue about wheeling.
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
ruclips.net/video/wI8XOHSSwFc/видео.html🙏
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
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.
I gotta say I always appreciate when your videos have real subtitles. Thank you for doing that.
Donut: "... That you can take anywhere except for the ocean"
Whislingdiesel: hold my Duramax
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.

“Budget has no impact on whether you do something correctly”
Words of wisdom to live by!
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.
Money pit Miata ehem

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
whenever Nolan is talking about something i always wait for the Aaron head nod to make sure that it's correct

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.
@@Prestiged_peck In your state maybe... banned for sale in mine... but you kinda make my point... if you burn that shit it turns into I think phosgen... that will kill you...
@@mattlane2282 no it releases chlorine gas
@@Prestiged_peck "The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for a can of brake cleaner reads: “Do not use this product near open flames, welding operations, or excessive heat. Vapors may decompose to harmful or fatal corrosive gases such as hydrogen chloride and possibly phosgene."
Just a great concept. Love the comparisons!
I am quite happy with my (33×12.5 R15) Falken Wild Peak AT3W's. Smooth ride, great in the rain and less road noise than the tires on my car.
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 a better.
It’s the material they are made out of that reflects the cost bruh
@@smolscale 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
@@smolscale yeah but just because they are made out of a more expensive material doesn't make them better "bruh"

THANKS DONUT FOR EXPLAINING THIS STUFF!!!
If it wasn't for this very informative video i would of gone through life thinking something like a bead lock on a wheel was for protecting the tire and rim seal from ripping/pulling apart when there aired down to 1psi during these rock climbing and extreme off road adventures

Y'all should seriously consider hiring Aaron to become a Donut host! He's so entertaining and informative!
Ya Aaron with Nolan making it actual fun to watch
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.
yess please
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
Do not listen to Aaron. He has the skill level of a teenager with their first car.
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 $$$.
I love this guy, I have learned a lot from them and their videos.
Had a set of Kenda Klever Mud terrains on a 05 Dakota 4x4 v8. Never got stuck, tried several times. Very loud on the road and wore down fast but still loved them.

Really liked this video! Keep them coming!
those cheap tires will cup & scallop if run on road/highway, and will only get louder and louder
I'd love to see a follow up test on them after 30k
You would be surprised. The nittos ridge grapplers wear horribly. I had 3 sets on my last truck. Buddy had the same problem with them.
I have $800 ebay mud terrains supermax RT-1 and they're wearing incredibly well, crush it off road, and are quiet as a church mouse. Expensive tires are because you're paying for the big companies marketing. I can't believe how quiet these tires are. Sad thing is I don't think they're being made anymore.
I disagree if they had gone for a cheaper brand maybe but kenda's low end tires even wear well. They wear faster for sure but they don't tend to cup I've owned 3 sets so far and 2 sets of nitto lower ends and would never go back to nittos unless it was purely for off road.
Kenda tires are actually a good brand, they are new to the truck tire market but they've been making tires for a long time. I have a feeling you'd be proven very wrong.
My 35” AT linglongs have 20k miles and aren’t loud at all and work off road just as good as name brands. People just like flexing how much they wasted on tires.
If this series was european it would have been called HILUX / LOWLUX.

What would have also been cool to see is how the fuel economy in the city and on the highway were impacted with having an increased tire weight. Just interesting to see.
Dramatically. I went from 18 to 14 mpg average.

@@TheBandit7613 where to?
@@marilynmonbro35 It depends what you like to do. Are you in to off road? Camping? Mountains? Fishing? What do you like?
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'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.
I liked Lo Truck so much I just put a set of those Kendas on my 2021 Tacoma. I don't think my factory e-lock will give me as much trouble though. Great content guys!
so they’re making low and high truck into the integra thing DOPE
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
Yeah, that was pretty funny. I wasn't sure if they really believed that or were just doing it for the show.
Yea 100 percent I feel like these guys don’t know shit
@@aaronhoadley1053 lol maybe but its still fun to see
I watch their videos all the time and i finally am building my own truck. Needless to say i take back what i see and apply it to my own.
I got a set of the kenda at2 on my f150. I’ve put several hundred miles on them since the install. A lot of rainy days the first couple weeks. A couple flooded dirt roads for fun and a few dry days lol. The tires have performed flawlessly. Great grip and traction in all conditions. Hardly any weight to balance and are about 15lbs lighter per tire than the ones they replaced. And a 50-60k warranty to boot. Can’t wait to get some miles on them
It is funny seeing on-road guys doing off-road stuff, I was laughing when James didn't think airing down would help. That's like off-road rule #1 😂😂
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.
I thought rule №1 was 'let someone know where you are going and when to expect you back.'
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
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
@@janeblogs324 lmao...are you shitting me.?. lol...thats funny tho
Love the fact you guys are learning off roading 😂
It'd be interesting to see how well they hold up compared to each other in mileage
honestly i believe the cheaper tires will hold longer do to a harder compound vs the more expensive tires are usually have a softer compound plus alloy rims crack were steelies can be bent back into shape with a hammer
I've had my nitto ridge grapplers for about 8 years ZERO issues ever with them and they still look good and I drive my truck daily
25k miles on mine, barely noticeable wear. Let me know if you care enough and I’ll get the tread depth from President Lincoln.
@@motorhead_jt2125k on the nittos?
@@motorhead_jt21 my first set of Nittos got about 60k on the rears and 70k on the fronts. I'm on my second set and expect the same results. The Ridge Grapplers are a good tire, never had a flat even with a couple nails in them. Running a 34" on a F150 and they are nice and quiet on the highway.

“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
Nitto ridge grapplers are my favorite tires! Mud snow rain it gets through it especially when you get low on tread!
Wow you guys found and advertised a shop that balances beadlocks in CA! Love seeing Kendras putting in work. I’ve heard a lot of good things about them.
I just cant put to words how much B E T T E R this is than cable television.
Love you Donut
Right, good luck finding a show on TV this informative and entertaining.
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.
This is the best series
I love to get back to Off Road Hi Low every time!
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

Lewis Hamilton and Nolan make a great team
😂😅
You must live in a pretty white place lol
Learning to air down.... Matt's Offroad Recovery would be proud.
Its fun to see budget diy once in a while. Like putting a wheel on a rim yourself.
As an off road guy watching non offroad guys offroad, thank you for this level of quality entertainment.
Same dude I was dying. It's just as good as off roaders trying to drift.
@@RandomStuffGarage619 hey man don’t underestimate some off-roaders dirt drifting capabilities, some of these trucks can SWING
@@mikeymancha2594 I beleive you if we are talking about a rwd prerunner or something lol vaugh gitten jr seems to know how to to both extremely well!
