All right, so the tire brand is Nitto. Nitto makes the best off-road tires, okay? So the side lugs right here are for off-road traction. So when you're like against rocks or, or sticks or anything like that, trees, it gives you extra traction off-road, okay? The lines inside of the tread blocks, they're called sipes, and what they do, they give you wet traction on the road, okay? The rim size is a 24, and the best brand, of course, again for off-road tires is Nitto. So who makes the best— so who wants to go first? Me. You? All right, who makes the best brand tire for off-road? Don't worry about spinning that. You better watch out now. All right, what are these for? Huh? Off-road. Okay, what about the lines in the tire? All right, hat. Got a hat.
