Mike Melton tests a Fury Country Hunter MT tire and finds a static imbalance of 6.5 ounces when balanced on a wheel. He notes the tire's aggressive tread design is built for mud, though questions whether it suits the truck it's going on.
How well do these Furies balance out? A lot of the ones we've done hadn't had no good luck with them. So we're gonna balance these out and see how these do. This here is the Country Hunter MT. It's a 35, 14, 50, 24. That's a real good looking tire to be such a big, beefy tire in an empty. The sidewalls ain't aggressive at all as far as the tread patterns. Got some big old lugs on there. A lot of open channels between that tread block to allow the mud to get out of the tire. But we know this truck ain't never gonna see mud or these tires. Now, before we balance these things out, what do we got to do? We got to take that damn sticker off. All right, we got this thing set up on lt. Let's go ahead, balance her out. Got it rolling. All right, rollers down. All right, rollers coming off. Let's see where we at. We at six and a half ounces, 28 pounds of force. Said we can get it down, but we pretty low. We going to get it down six and a half. Now, I know you're asking why did we static bounce this wheel? So the reason why we use static bounce as wheel is because of the distance we have. Now, the front lip, you see how big that lip is and then you're spacing between the two planes, there's not enough room, so you have to static bounce as wheel. If you try to dynamic it, you will get a vibration.
