Mike Melton shows how to massage tire beads before mounting, then balances a Toyo AT3 all-terrain tire using a Road Force balancer that applies 1,200 lb of force to catch vibration issues. He claims the AT3 and Nitto G3 are the quietest all-terrain tires because their shoulder sits close to the tread blocks.
When you have big tires like this, you always want to massage that bead. I know a lot of tire guys in there be like, man, that's a waste of time. You don't even know what you're talking about. That's 'cause they don't know what the hell they talking about. There we go. Massage that bead. And you want to bounce by the lug holes. And if you're a tire shop and you want one of these, just go to fixmycrew.com and it's on there. So now if you're a customer and you never seen the Toyo AT3, let's go over it for you. So if you don't want a crazy aggressive sidewall, this is a tire for you. So it gives you that little small aggressive look, but not too much. Now the tread pattern is pretty aggressive, but a lot of people are going to ask how quiet this tire is. This is a very quiet tire. This Toyo AT3 and the Nitto G3 is the quietest tires on the market as far as all-terrains go. One of the contributing factors is that because the closer the shoulders are like this to the tread blocks, the quieter that tire is going to be. So now let's balance it out. But there's one thing you got to do before you balance it. You got to take that damn sticker off. All right, let's balance her out. We got that thing rolling. Roller's about to come down. We ain't going to cut it, we ain't going to edit. If you're not familiar with my content, this is a Road Force balancer. What it's going to do is diagnose any kind of vibration issues before those tires go on that truck so we can fix it. Puts 1,200 lbs of force on it. Right now it's coming off. All right, here we go. We only got zero amount of weight here, only 2 oz here, and 13 lbs of force. You want that thing all the way green right there. That way you know that thing is going to what? Ride smoother than a damn Cadillac.
