I love my 37x12.50r17 best tires i have had since the orginal goodyear mtrs not the Kevlar one's. These mickey thompson baja boss mt's are great in every terrain! Also pretty quiet for a mt love how aggressive the sidewalls are. Great tires mickey thompson
50+ years ago I had a retread 14" tire on a bubble balance machine, it would have taken 2 pounds of weight on one side to get it into static balance! One could look at it and see it was way out of round. We turned the tire in for warranty.
@@backcountrydriverOh ok, that is exactly what my 2021 jeep has. The JL dana 35 is the advantek axle I believe. Do you think it would be strong enough for some rugged 33's? I think 33's will fit without a lift. I wasn't planning on going too wide with the tire. 265/275 ish. Thanks! 🙂
33"s should be OK as long as you avoi wheel spin where the tires can suddenly grab traction and possibly break an axle. Be smooth on the throttle and it should work well.@@Roblet217
If the numbers are too high you can dismount the tire and move it 180 degrees from where it was. BTW Static is fine but not having a cover thor that machine is kinda dangerous!
I just balanced a set of 15”x10” used Jeep wheels with 35’s for a friend. On Dynamic it was asking for 26oz on the outside and 10oz on the inside directly opposite from the outside weight. It repeated on a second balancer. Static was 6oz on the centerline. No way I’m putting 2lb+ of weight on a wheel.
Yukon has the worst customer service. Sent wrong installation kit. They did not have a care in the world to get the correct installation kit mailed out. Jeep in shop torn apart.
Best day ever! Great experience. By the way, husband, Rus, is in the back seat lol. My sister is riding shotgun lol. This was her first time ever experiencing an off-road adventure and wow she got one heck of a dose!
This was such an amazing day! I can’t say enough good about my experience with Trails 411. Wonderful team of people and got through all those rock gardens with no damage at all to Lorelai! It was a great day. I All 3 badges arrived before I even got home, including a 4th one I earned in Arizona. Best 3 week vacation ever. Thanks again Trails 411 for the awesome guide through the Big Bear Honor Badge Trails.
got up the first waterfall in a stock height Lexus GX460 without a spotter... it was absolutely hilarious... definitely need a spotter on this trail... great job ❤
What was the hardest of the 3 ? I’m guessing it’s Holcomb.. I been to the beginning of this one and went in 100 yards and turned around I had no one with me and wasn’t familiar with the trail so we did gold mountain half way and turned around again I was alone wasn’t familiar with the trail I have 4 inch lift 35s , jk
I highly advise not doing these trails without experienced spotters. Your JK on a 4” lift with 35s is the same as my JL on a 2” lift on 35s. I don’t have lockers either. That made it even more challenging. Contact Don Alexander. You will not regret having them lead you through the mountains.
Take a shot every time he says the word "basically"and you'll be drunk by the three minute mark. I counted 36 "basically"'s in the whole video which is about 2.5 "basically"'s per minute 😂
In my experience anything 33” or larger should be balanced in static mode. I always hear people saying “you should really Road Force balance it” but the majority of those people are clueless on how tire balancing works. Road Force machines can’t properly match large (33”+) tires just because the machine doesn’t have that capability in that mode. It doesn’t matter if you have a 4th generation or even a newer 5th generation Road Force machine, either. The other thing people don’t realize when they complain about having a tire static balanced vs dynamically is that a large tire that has been static balanced will probably never go faster than 90 mph which most M/T’s are rated for 100mph. Drag racers and road racers alike use static balancing for high speed driving. IF you choose to balance your large tires dynamically then it would be best practice to balance your tires every 20,000 miles.
So question...Does the tie rod rub against the brake rotor at all at full turn? Because I have a 2014 JK and installed this tie rod, cut away a piece of the brake dust shield, and the tie rod still rubs my rotors at full turn. I have a good little groove dug into both of my rotors because of it.
This video is older but you’re why I went with Nexen mxt m/t. Your experience is what I listen to being new to off-roading. I want to learn how to correctly. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
My dealer put 51 psi in my rav4 tires say 51psi max load on the tire. Yet door says 35psi this is odd why they do that? Should I lower it to 35psi btw they used nitrogen
Auto manufacturers suggest high tire pressures to improve the corporate fuel economy numbers. Over-inflated tires accelerate wear and reduce traction. The only accurate way to determine optimum tire pressures for the highway/street is to do a chalk te4st. Search for videos on the tire chalk test on RU-vid or Google.
No! Dynamic balancing improves lateral balance in addition to vertical (bouncing) balance. This reduces the chance of death wobble (but does not eliminate the chance of death wobble).
