2956520 (Toyo Open Country RT Trail).
Four.
One.
A flat spot on the tire causing a thumping noise and vibration when rolled.
There's a problem with this Toyo RT trail. Let's go over it. This is one reason why you definitely want a road Force machine. Now Toyo is always known to have the best off road products. Now sometimes you do have a defect out of the factory, but with Toyo, it's pretty damn rare. Now this tire does have a problem and I've never seen this part before coming from factory. So right here is the 2956520 and it is the Toyo Open Country RT Trail. Now the reason why people follow me because I tell the truth and I tell it like it is, no matter the brand. Now this is all four tires. There's 1, 2, 3, 4. Now out of the four, there's only one that has an issue. Now this issue from the factory has actually got a flat spot in it right here. So I'm gonna put it on the roller and you're gonna hear the noise it's gonna make. Alright, now we got it rolling. Now this roller's about to come down. I'm not gonna cut it. Nothing that way. You can hear the thumping noise as it hits that one spot. Now what it's doing is hitting that one. So what that's going to do, it's going to cause a major vibration in this truck. So what we're going to have to do is swap this out and we're going to notify Toyo of the issue.
