Mike Melton road-force balances a used set of 40-inch Yokohama Jeelander XMT tires with cupping damage. The machine calls for small weights, an ounce here, six and a quarter there, to see if these big tires can actually be balanced smooth.
How good are these tires going to road force? This right here is a Yokoma Jeelander XMTs and it's a big old 40, 15, 50, 20. Now they're not new, they are used. The guy's gonna put these on his truck. Now I had somebody say, can you road force 40, 15, 50, 20s? And we just happen to have a set in here. Well, let's see if they do. There's the roller. There ain't a lot of space in there. Now they do got a little bit of cupping. Alright, look, we got all the weights off. Now don't expect this thing to be low in road force because it does have some cupping in there and they're not brand new tires. All right, so we got all the weights off of there. Let's go ahead and see how this thing does. All right, we got that thing spinning. Big old 40s. All right, we got that roller's about to come down on her. Let's see what she does. Will, can we road force some 40s, 40, 15, 50, 20s. Now let's see how good these things balance out. So yes, you can road force them. Like I said, I don't know how good the road force is gonna be on them. Look at that. 6,000, 656. So of course it's gonna have a little vibration. You expect that with some big old cup tires. But it's calling for an ounce here, six and a quarter there. You don't expect these things to road force good.
