A Mike Melton YouTube video in which a customer’s Fortune Tormentor RTS tires are critiqued as failing after ~2,000 miles. Melton removes the tires, demonstrates balancing on a wheel balancer in real time, and contrasts the poor-performing Fortune tires with higher-quality Nitto Ridge Grappler/Ridge Grappler (Ridge Grappler/Ridge Grappler mentioned) tires — emphasizing buying quality over quantity.
Guy brought this tundra in here. Now, he put these tires on there 2,000 miles ago and said they're trash. Let's go over them. Now, he said these are the worst tires that he's ever got put on his truck. Now you can see they're still brand new. He only got about 2,000 miles on these tires. These are the Fortune Tormentor RTS. Now, everybody knows when a tire is trash, we say it's trash. Now, I haven't personally used these customers, said they're trash. So we're gonna go by what he says. All right? Now we got this thing up in there. We're gonna take these tires off. And of course, what do they go with? Nitto Ridge droppers, one of the best riding tire tires out there. Now, let's go ahead and put them on the balancer and show you how these things do. All right? Like I always say, take your damn stickers off. All right, to show you ain't no weights on this thing, let's see what this thing bounces out at, and we'll show you why you always buy the quality roller on there. We're gonna do this real time, show you where this thing balances out at. This is a 35, 12, 50, 20 Nitto Ridge Grappler. All right? We got zero weight there, and we got three quarters of an ounce clip on right there. That's why you buy quality over quantity.
