I just recently found your channel, more than three years after this video was posted, and I am now trying to watch all that I have missed. You provide great information, presented in a very understandable way. Thank you, and please keep them coming!
Exactly the same as me lol
Great vid. Finally cleared up some of my questions. One tip I got was colour a section of tyre tread on your 4x4 and drive a few meters ( 20-30) back and forth the chalk wears off the contact points allowing you to tune your tyre pressures to your rig.
very good coverage Ronny, thanks
Dang you have made me check out my rig once again. Thanks again for all the advice. Jedi overland guru 👍
THANK YOU! simple, to the point and prefect presentation. THANK YOU Ronny !
I'm 60 yrs olds I never know about the yellow dots have there all I no understand, You have made my interest to check out my wheels again and there all no meet, Tyre business careless bastards. Thanks again for all the advice
Good job Ronny. Every one should know this info.
Thanks Ronnie - another great informative video!
New to all of this, never paid attention to my tire specs, you are very informed, this was an excellent video and a great help. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Absolutely fantastic video. So informative
I didn't know what the dual load ratings or the dot were about. Thanks for the tips!
As always a great video Ronny. Thanks for uploading this, was most enlightening and it never hurts to refresh knowledge hey I'll be sharing this as I do most of your videos to Geraldton 4x4 FB Group.
Excellent stuff. Thanks for that! 👍
Good vid, thanks for all that information. Yellow dot, nice!
very informative i have learnt more about tyre info from you, than i have in 50 years of driving; great work
Great useful video..Thanks Ronny
Great wirk Ronny. Very good information.
Thank you Ronny. Basic information, but basic information that not everybody knows, or knows the value of.
Great video , thanks for your help .
3rd time back to this video, excellent info, I’m learning.
Excellent information, learned a lot about tires.
I've been researching tires for at least a year now, actually learnt something new. Didn't know how to read the man date, and I didnt know about the yellow dot...good vid once again Ronny! Cheers!
Great demo Ronny about simplifying the numbers. If only all tyre places were as clear as you
Thanks so much for the video Ronny... I learnt alot.... pls keep up the good work... wishing you success ✌
Learnt a lot - Very nice teaching video - Thanks !!!
Very good video, one of your best yet and i binge watch your channel on the daily
Good advices... Thanks a lot
Knowledge is power!!!🤠👏👏👏. Thanks for posting this👍
Great video helped me decide between an E rated and P rated and why I should have an E rated tire for my Xterra. :)
Yellow dot and 52 weeks in a year! Ronny your amazing.
THIS is an excellent video with only true information. I am amazed at how many tire dealers do not know any of this info.
Very very helpful, thank you !!
Really informative, never knew this stuff. See you 'round'
very informational - good info - thank you - cheers
I never could understand what all the numbers all meant . But you have explained it a lot better slowly which makes me more likely too which your videos more often thank you
Thanks Ronny
Wow this video saved me from making a big mistake. Was gonna get a 15rim tyre because it looks “tougher” but now know I have a way lower load rating. Thanks Ronny legend I’ll be sure to look out for all these!!
Load rating is defiantly the best thing to look up. Some people at tire shops don’t understand and could sell you the same brand, model and size you want but a load rating suited for an SUV and not for the 1 ton truck it’s going on. I just bought tires and the guy at the shop had no idea what it was good for but I verified they were suitable, was load rating “E”
Thanks for the “yellow dot” fun fact 😎 is good to learn a new thing every day.
Thank you Ronny
Cheers Ronny, great video.
Great advice mate.
Cheers.
I Spoke to Lynn at Integrity Tyres from the back end of this video. Great service with a great price...

Thanks Mate another useful video. Keep it up
Very informative presentation. 👍
thank you very informative
What a legend, tyre info that makes sense, who would have thought!
Very useful info thanks👍🏻😁
...that was BRILLIANT ! Thanks !
Thanks for the great info.
Thanks bro I learn more from u than any other
Could u go to blacksmith/ redhead beach that would be a good show
And well done on your new job
Brilliant...thank you..
Great Review thank you
The Vermonter
Another entertaining vid.Thanks
Hey Ronny! Awesome vids thanks a bunch! I worked at a tyre shop for awhile and even tho those dots should theoretically make a better balance, its not always the case. Many times, a better balance can be obtained by rotating the dot 90 or 180 from the stem, usually, if the tyre is wobbling some left and right as it spins, rotating the dot will usually straighten it out and call for less weight.
the yellow dot is meant to be at the valve but sometimes as a tyer fitter you have to spin the tyer on the rim to lower the weight you have put on a tyer as all rims are not round
again this all depends on the rim manufacturer cheap Steal rims are more likely to be more out of round than a higher end rim
Great job 👊🏻
Good info, thx!
Excellent!
Thanks mate, it was helpfull
Nice video Ronny!
Appreciate you mate❤❤
285/75/16 Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx 126/123Q = Just short of being 33" but I have been using for 4 years and wears well and good on all surfaces. Keep up the good info and thanks
Hi Ronnie love your videos, always well researched and presented. The method I was taught for correct tyre pressures was the '4 psi rule'. Measure your tyre pressures then drive 30 km or so on the highway, and measure the pressures again. They should have risen by 4 psi. If they rise less the tyre isn't warming up and gripping properly, lower the pressure. If they have risen by more then pressure is too low and tyre is overheating. Simple and once you have done it you know the correct pressures for the future.
Great video mate
Perfect! Thx
EDUCATIONAL .FULLSTOP👍👍
Thanks M8 great video :-)
Nice vid Ronnie.
Very informative tony I learned something today thanks .jimmy wa
I've learned so much as a new off roader from your vids. I love the clear and concise explanations! Thank you and keep it up! Cheers from Michigan!
Learned so much as well. Cheers from San Diego, California! Just bought 2016 lx 570 with 21 inch rims and is being replaced with 18 inch rims for off-roading.
Great vid
Awesome vid. Had to buy new tires for uzj200 landcruiser about 3 months ago. Impossible to get a decent tire and keep too the speed rating. Wish i had seen this earlier👍 keep up the great work
Falken made in japan have an LT 10 ply Radial with a road / AT pattern which is speed rated for the 200. Happy days :-)
I work in a tyre shop and occasionally if we line the yellow dot up and the wheel balancer still says for example 180kgs, we'll spin the tyre around so the yellow dot is at the opposite end and it hopefully brings it down a bit, if need be we'll even flip it on the rim but only if where able to (4wd tyres only, cars tyres don't normally have this problem)
hey ronny you need to do a video about how to determine how low psi can go for offroading and to set new psi if you change from a 50psi max to a 80psi max you just showed!
Even on the fj i sill run e load range tires at 36psi more than what i need but it makes the ride better when i air down
Good video mate
Great guide to 4x4 tyres laid out in clear plain English, everything covered except how is the load rating affected if you are towing a trailer?
Thanks
Man you know your stuff!
Very interesting the difference between 16 and 15 inches rims and load capacity!!!
The yellow dot one is good to know. I've popped a few beads off before and always have to get it rebalanced as I don't know where the tyre was previously. Easy realignment if they put it on properly.
Also another one for tyre pressures, some people colour in their tyre width in chalk and then go for a drive. You'll then see if the tyre is making good contact with the road.
+brendonv101 awesome idea about the chalk. I’ve also always wanted to chalk the side walls and rim to see if both or either shift at low pressures under hard 4 Wheeling
In England speed rating is important when u do ur MOT. The car will fail its MOT check if we don't have a proper tyre- not only a tread but also a speed rating.
Hi Ronny bro. Ur videos are totaly awesome, bro. Especially this one. U explained everything so clear. I need to change my front tyres. But it still left me 1 question. "Is it safe if my hilux d'cab use AT at front wheel and MT at rear wheel??" (both front and rear same 31x10.5 r15). My situation is, I only get in the mud road for 2 hours in every 2 weeks if its rainy day. And to be honest also for saving fund of the tyre longterm usement. Thanks bro.
Hi Ronny .. first off I must say this is one of the most informative explanations re: tyres I have seen .. Thanks .. I do realise that this is now some 2 years ago ... my dilemma
at the moment is I have a 2016/17 Ford Everest Trend which I am about to change over the rims and tyres .. have been told that I could possibly go down from 18" to 17" and get a better choice of tyre but have also been told by another high profile retailer here in South Oz and Aust for that matter that I would be legally furked if I did so ... do you have any thoughts on doing so and going to the correct tyre to maintain height ride etc .. also if anyone else has input please advise ... Great vid mate
The thing about age is related to use. What happens to tires when they get old is the rubber starts cracking. This is caused by a combination of the rubber drying out, and ozone exposure.
Tires will last longer if they are covered, or indoors (like if you park in your garage, and have a spare tire cover) because that reduces their exposure to ozone.
The interesting part is that the rubber doesn't dry out as fast if you use the tires more. This is because heating the rubber up through use prevents them from drying out temporarily, and it makes a big difference. A new tire can be too old to use in only 4 years if the vehicle they're mounted on is just parked in a driveway the entire time. The same set of tires can be just fine after 6 or 7 years if the vehicle is driven on the highway a dozen miles or so, at least once every week.
The way to tell is if the sidewall rubber is cracking. If you see cracks, replace the tire. If the rubber has no cracks in it anywhere, you're probably fine for a bit, but you should keep checking every so often.
R16 rim is the way to go. R16 tires are "proper" tires - specs wise. Great video, mate 👍
R15 rims and tires are cheaper, I know
most important thing is have a proper pump that gives you psi information as you inflate/deflate you tyres
If you have a central inflation system be sure you have a monitor for it..
gotta love the duelly reference
though if you are intending to exceed the weight capacity of vehicle you may want to consider either a 6x4 or a 6x6 conversion to offset your weight..
One very important rating that was not mentioned is the Durometer Rating of the tire. It will be a 3 number rating such as 300 etc. This rating refers to the hardness or softness of the synthetic rubber the tire is made from. Softer durmoter tires grip better but wear quicker and also get more greasy if the pavement is very hot. And consequently a higher number Durometer Rating tire has a harder rubber which will last longer but also grip much less. I always consider the "Durometer Rating " when I'm purchasing tires; as it plays a huge role in your decision making. Great video btw......
Great video mate I have question I'm a weekend off roader and have a fortune tyer recommendations please?
I’ll add there’s an exception for inflation. Example: milestar Patagonia m/t is supposed to run with the outer inch or so on each edge of the treads off of the roadway. The tread is multi compound and the center is made to run longer and quieter on the road, then when you hit the trail, you air down onto the edges of the tire. Basically, follow the manufactures recommendation for how they should be inflated in conjunction with your vehicle weight and conditions. Otherwise, great info for the tire newb!
Very useful info. Chucking your tyres at 5 years though could be a bit expensive and may not be necessary. It really depends of usage and exposure to UV which can vary greatly depending on where the vehicle is stored. As a rule of thumb, after 5 years old, get them properly inspected every 12 months to determine if they need changing and don't keep any tyres longer than 10 years old.
I agree, my parents have gotten over 10 years of use out of the tires on their truck that probably only gets about 3,000 to 5,000 miles of use a year and the tread still looks like it did when they were new. They had a shop inspect them recently and they couldn't find any faults with them and recommended to keep running them. Obviously most tires wear much faster but these are definitely beating the odds.
Although tread depth on its own isn't always a complete indicator. The overall condition of the rubber is very important once tyres go over 5 years old. As long as the tyres get inspected at least every 12 months then it should be all good.
Hi... hey have you made a video explaining tyre pressures and the Terran suited as in when to under inflate and when not to?
+james dawson yes all that is in the PSI video on my channel
Thanks for the video. Will a higher load rating reduce the ride quality?
