A mechanic tests a cheap Arroyo Tomahawk MT tire on a Road Force balancer and finds a 70 lb imbalance versus the predicted 58 lb, revealing a tire defect. He advises against buying Arroyo tires, which appear to be rebranded Toyo products.
I get a lot of comments about this tire right here, Royo Tomahawk MTs. They look like a pretty damn good tire. Guy came in, got a vibration problem, so we're going to see what's going on with it. All right, let's see what's going on. We got everything ready to go, flange plate on there, Road Force is set up, we got all the weights off. Let's go ahead and balance this thing out. This is going to be a gonna be a tire issue, is it gonna be a wheel issue. Right now we got the roller on there putting 1,200 pounds of force. All right, it's coming off. All right, here we go. Looks like we're gonna have a tire issue. 70 pounds of force, predictions 58. So this is one of the reasons why we do not recommend these cheap Arroyo tires. Now they're trying to be Toyo, that's why they changed the name to Arroyo. Don't buy these damn tires.
