Mike Melton swaps Falcon Wild Pig tires for Nitto G3s and explains why: quieter, smoother ride, better wet traction. He uses a Road Force balancer to check for vibration, finding the G3 needs only 16 lb of correction versus much higher on older models.
Why is he taking off the Falcon AT4s? All right, he's taking off these old Method wheels with these Falcon Wild Pig AT4s, and he's gonna be throwing on these G3s that he took off his other truck. Now why is he doing this? Because that G3 is better than that Falcon. Number one, he liked how quiet it was. So the Nitto G3 isn't just quieter, it rides a lot better. So he's putting on a brand new set of Fuel wheels. All right, so if you've never seen a G3, let's go over it a little bit. G3 is not crazy aggressive, so they are an all-terrain. When you stick with an all-terrain, they're not too aggressive on the sidewalls. You go to an RT or MT, they get more aggressive. And the wet traction on this tire is very, very good. Some people compare it to the old G2. No, this one's a definitely a step up, about 5 steps up. All right, now let's go ahead and balance this thing out. Now if you're not familiar with my content, this is a Road Force balancer. We know how to use it. A lot of shops don't. So that roller's going to come down, put 1,200 pounds of force on the tire. Simulating it being driven on that truck. So it's going to diagnose any kind of vibration issues that are going to come up before we put them on that truck so we can fix them. All right, roller's coming off. Only got 16 pounds of force on there, only an ounce and a half. These things always ride good, they always ride smooth.
