Mike Melton mounts Nitto Ridge tires on a Toyota Sequoia built for rock crawling, using a Hunter Maverick machine and Road Force balancer that applies 1,200 lb of force. The balancer shows near-zero weight needed, promising ride quality like a Cadillac.
This guy said to hell with these Falcon AT3s. He said give me them Nitto Ridges. Now he did not say they were a bad tire. Now the AT3 was definitely a better tire than I know AT4 is, but he just actually uses his truck to go off-road, so he wanted something more aggressive that's going to do exactly what he does off-road. So we went with the Nitto Ridges because he don't go in too much mud, it's more rocks and stuff like that. So we told him to go with the Ridges and not the MTs. Now we're gonna use that Hunter Maverick machine, touchless, that way you don't scratch or damage any wheels. For the ones that want to know what this is, that's a Toyota Sequoia truck. Of course, use that flange plate. And you know what we got to do before we damn balance out? We got to take that damn sticker off, son. Rip her off. All right, we're not going to cut it, not going to edit. We're going to show you in real time what these Nitto Ridges, how they balance out. So if you're new to my, my social media, we use a Road Force balancer. We got multiple of these things. This is a roller, puts 1,200 lbs of force on the tire, diagnoses any kind of vibration issues before they go on that vehicle. All right, roller's coming off. Look at that, zero weight here, ounce and a quarter here, and only 5 pounds of force. What's that thing gonna ride like? Gonna ride like a damn Cadillac, son.
