In this concise automotive demonstration, the presenter introduces the Toyo Open Country RT Trail tire, highlighting its aggressive sidewall and tread pattern and positioning it as a step below the even more aggressive RT Pro, which is deemed too aggressive for certain customers. The speaker removes the tire's sticker and proceeds to a Road Force balancing session, explaining that the balancer diagnoses and corrects potential vibration issues in the wheel‑tire assembly before installation. During the balancing run, the machine records weight readings of approximately 2 ¾ oz and 3 ½ oz and a force of about 10 lb. The presenter concludes that, after this process, the tire will deliver a ride quality "smoother than a Cadillac," emphasizing the benefit of the pre‑installation balancing.

We get tons of calls for this tire right here. So this tire right here is the Toyo Open Country RT Trail sidewall. Really, really aggressive tire, aggressive tread pattern here. One step up above this one, this one, which is the RT Pro. So with this guy, the RT Pro is a little bit too aggressive for him, so we stick with the RT Trail. Now let's go ahead and road force this thing out. You know, the first thing we got to do, we got to take that damn sticker off. Rip that son of a gun off. Now let's go to balancing. This is a Road Force balancer. What a Road Force balancer does, it diagnoses any kind of vibrations that you're going to get out of your wheel and tire assembly before we put it on this vehicle to make sure that the customer is not going to have any problems with it vibrating. So we're going to fix it here on the machine before it goes to the vehicle. All right, now the roller's coming off. It's only got 2 3/4 here, 3 1/2 ounces here, and only 10 pounds of force. Now what's that gonna do? This damn thing will ride smoother than a damn Cadillac.
