All right, this is a brand new, brand new at 4 Sierra. And of course you see what tires they have on there? It's the BFG KO2s brand new tires, not cupped. This is a brand new truck. Guy come in, made an appointment this morning to have these things. Road force balance. Let's go over these tires now. These are notorious. I've made lots of videos on them. Let me show you. So everything's in real time. Yeah, pretty good hops in that. Of course I know what y' all gonna say. Sp the tire, spin the tire. Well, if you got the right equipment like I do, you don't have to waste your time just spinning tires because this machine is going to tell you exactly if it's going to fix it or not. So of course, what does this one come up as? 38 pounds of force. The limit is 24 because it's not an. It's not an LT tire. It's not Templar standard low tire. That's why we got in an SUV and it's currently 38 pounds of force. And if we try to spin this tire and force magic, it's only 34, which is way over the limit. So these things are still going to vibrate. Stop buying these BFG tires.
