Mike Melton balances his personal Nitto MT Trail mud tire on a diagnostic roller using 1,200 lb of force. The tire measured 0 oz, 4¾ oz, and 14 lb imbalance across three points. He says it runs surprisingly quiet for a mud tire and lasts well if you don't drive it hard.
All right, this is a Nitto MT Trail. So this is a tire right here I personally run on my truck, and this is the one I had all those millions of views going through the damn snow when everybody else was stuck. Now you know, balancing by the lug holes with the flange plates. All right, we got all the weights off this thing, no weights. Now one of my guys done took the damn stickers off, so I can't do that. Now let's go ahead and balance this thing out. All right, hood's down, we got her spinning. Let's see what we're gonna do. All right, here in just a second, that roller's coming down. If you don't never see my videos, this roller is designed to diagnose any problems are gonna come up as vibrations. Put 1,200 pounds of force. All right, it's off. Now we got what, 0 ounces here, we got 4¾ here, and only 14 pounds of force. So if you're worried about how quiet these things are, now for a mud tire, these are very, very quiet for a mud tire. As far as how long these things last, it all depends on how you drive your damn truck. But if you want a mud tire that not only looks good, is quiet, and it'll get you in and out of any situation, it's gonna be the Nitto Trail MT.
