A tire technician shows how to diagnose and fix a vibration problem from a Discount Tire customer's poorly balanced tires. The video criticizes Discount Tire's training standards and offers to train their staff properly.
Now, discount tire, I tell you, you better start training, you guys. All right, this guy just bought these Nitto NT 420s from Discount Tire. And he said ever since he put these things on there, it's vibrated. Ever since he's took it back and took it back, and they still can't get it fixed. So where did he bring it to us? All right, first one, it don't have a ton of weight. So let's see what's going on. Tire one roller's about to come off air. Let's see what's going on with this thing. All right, so currently has 46 pounds of force, which is way too much. Says we can get it down to nine. So there's number one problem. All right, so here's the wheel and tire assembly that had 46 pounds of force. We got it matched up for him. Now let's see where it's at. All right, we got it spinning, coming on. Where we at, we had two and three quarters here, only a quarter ounce here. And we got it from 46 all the way down to nine pounds of force. Discount tire, you better be training you guys right, because if not, I'm taking more of your business. All right, here's another one you get a little vibration out of. So what we did, we spun it. Road force it with the old weights on there. Now look at this. Still. Still call her 3/4 of an ounce and a half ounce here. Discount tire, that's a no, no. All right, now we got off all that weight. Let's go and bounce it out, see what's going on with this one. All right, this roller's coming off. Where is this one at? So don't worry about the weight because of course it needs weight, right? So this is the issue. The other issue is this one's little high and road force. We're going to spin this tire when we get that thing down. That way he gets a smooth ride. Discount tire, hire me. I'll come and train you guys.
