    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.

  • @Pepe46873
    @Pepe46873 Před 6 lety +1

    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”

    @jc_from_tx9229 Před 3 lety +1

    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.

  • @bundymut
    @bundymut Před 6 lety +1

    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

  • @timothyjamieson1282
    @timothyjamieson1282 Před 5 lety +3

    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.

  • @TheAussieFloof
    @TheAussieFloof Před 6 lety +2

    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)

  • @Mientras_Tanto

  • @brendonv101
    @brendonv101 Před 6 lety

    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.

    • @Ronny_Dahl
      @Ronny_Dahl  Před 6 lety +1

      +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

  • @padidivemaster1963

    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.

  • @waxhead63
    @waxhead63 Před 4 lety

    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

  • @AlexandarHullRichter
    @AlexandarHullRichter Před 5 lety +6

    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.

  • @jasonhowe1697
    @jasonhowe1697 Před 6 lety

    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..

  • @evopwrmods
    @evopwrmods Před 5 lety

    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......

  • @bradkay2710

    Great video mate I have question I'm a weekend off roader and have a fortune tyer recommendations please?

  • @MotoDUDEabides
    @MotoDUDEabides Před 3 lety

    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!

  • @WesternAustraliaNowAndThen

    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.

    • @silentbob267
      @silentbob267 Před 6 lety +1

      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.

    • @WesternAustraliaNowAndThen
      @WesternAustraliaNowAndThen Před 6 lety +1

      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.
