Toyo RT Pro Balance POV #tireshop #leadership #businessowner #offroading #training #tirebusiness
In this POV instructional video, Mike Melton walks viewers through the process of preparing and balancing a Toyo Open Country RT Pro tire. He begins by describing the tire’s aggressive sidewall, deep tread, and hybrid mud‑terrain/all‑terrain design, noting its relative quietness compared to the MT model. He then demonstrates a practical tip for removing the tire’s sticker using thumb and index fingers. The core of the demo covers the proper balancing technique: using a flange plate and balancing by the lug holes, followed by a road‑force test that applies 1,200 lb of simulated load to detect vibration issues. Mike reads the road‑force readings (e.g., 2.75 lb, 3.5 lb, 25 lb) and explains that achieving low, balanced numbers will result in a ride quality he likens to a “Cadillac.” The video combines product insight, hands‑on troubleshooting, and performance verification to guide tire shop owners and technicians.
