Mike Melton demonstrates mounting and balancing 33x14.50/20 Hercules TT1 tires using a roller that applies about 1,200 lbs of simulated road force, contrasting his method with a 180 approach.

Now this right here is one hell of a damn tire. Mounting up these big old wide 33x14.50s, 20s Hercules TT1 tire. See how easy these things are to mount when you got the right people to do it and the damn right equipment to do it. Why do you got to be struggling with some of this stuff? That easy. Look at that, no cuts, no edits. Now a lot of people hadn't seen these things. If you hadn't seen them, let's go over it. This right here is called the Hercules TT1 tire. Now for people who wants a super aggressive tire and they still want good quality but they don't want to deal with that cheapo stuff, this one right here. So on this one we're doing a 33x14 50/20. Now because this wheel's so deep dish, you have to static balance this wheel. You can't dynamic it, which is dual plane, because it will cause a vibration. All right, let's go and balance this thing out. We're gonna cut it, we're gonna edit it. All right, now we got it rolling. Here in a second, that roller's coming down. What that roller does— if you ain't watching my damn content now, you better watch, follow, subscribe, everything— that roller's gonna come down, put 1,200 pounds of force on top of that tire, being simulated, being driven on that vehicle right there, so we fix any vibrations before they go on the customer's vehicle. All right, so now that's coming up right here. This tire's got 47 pounds of force. We're gonna get to— even though it says it can't be fixed, we have our own ways of getting this stuff down. And it ain't 180, it ain't, you know, none of that stuff. All 180 does— all my little other tire shops and all my haters— only thing 180 does, you're just spinning the damn tire. That ain't what fixes it. All right, now we fix that thing. Now let's see if we got it right. Now we got it rolling. Like I said, again, that roller's gonna come down, we're gonna put that force on there. Now put in the comments what it is. I ain't gonna tell you how much pounds of force it is again because I done told you. In the video already. Now here in a second, that's gonna come back off and we're gonna show you why it's best to come here to get your tires and wheels done, because we take the extra time. Look at that, we got it weighed down. Was in the 40s, got her weighed down. That way it's gonna ride just like a damn Cadillac. I just put some of that Speedy Shine on there. Let's see which one you're using right here. So if you want some of this right here, just go to the website speedysupplyco.com.
