In this informal YouTube demo, Mike Melton reviews the Atturo Trail Blade ATS all‑terrain tire, briefly compares it to the earlier Atturo MT and the newer MTS models, and then demonstrates how he balances the tire using a Road Force balancer. He removes the tire’s sticker, mounts the tire on the balancer, applies 1,200 lb of force to diagnose vibration issues, and records the imbalance readings (¾ oz and ¼ oz at 23 lb of force). Melton emphasizes that his shop does not cut or edit tires, unlike other shops, and claims that with these low imbalance numbers the tire will ride “like a damn Cadillac.” He invites viewers to comment on their experiences with the tire to help others make purchasing decisions.

We haven't done a lot of these, but let's talk about it. This right here is the Atturo Trail Blade ATS. Now the Atturo MT, we hadn't had a lot of success with that one. Now the MTS has been a lot better. All right, so this right here is their all-terrain tire. Now as far as looks, it looks pretty daggum good. Now we don't know how they're gonna balance out or how they gonna ride. So if you ever use this Atturo Trail Blade ATS, put in the comments how you like it, what you don't like about it, whatever, if it's loud. That way people can make their purchasing decisions. So now let's go ahead and balance this thing out. But you know, before we do that, what we got to do? We got to take that damn sticker off, son. All right, now let's go ahead and balance it out. We ain't going to cut it, no edit, none of that stuff like all these other little bullshit shops. If you haven't never seen my content, this is a Road Force balancer. We actually know how to use it. A lot of people don't know how. So putting 1,200 lbs of force on that tire to diagnose any vibration problems before it's going to go on this truck. So now the roller's coming off. It's only calling for 3/4 of an ounce here, 1/4 of an ounce here, and it's at 23 pounds of force. So of course this thing will ride like a damn Cadillac, son.
