JAT TIRE Review: Are The New Jack Of All Treads Tires The BEST In SnowRunner?! 

Great video Nate I think the point about vehicles testing different in game maps vs test tracks is a great one. As they have multiple layers of stuff going in compared to 1 type or mud. I’m sure this took a long time so thanks for all your efforts and keep it up.

Great job on testing all these new tires! I like how these new tires seems pretty balanced compared to the originals. The devs could easily have made them super good and made the old ones completly obsolete, but im glad they didnt.

Thank you Nate for this very useful tires-testing video, I'm sure it will help the community. At this point it's safe to say that except for scouts and superheavy trucks, the OG tires are still the go-to for most scenarios, but it's always nice to get improved stability and overall variety fromn these new tires.

Looks like the biggest upgrade is for the small scouts that don't have uod or their own special tires (like Yar87, Tatarin). From 1.6 mud for MS1 to Jat MS3's 2.5 is a huge upgrade. Otherwise, agreed, it's mostly a sidegrade and the old tires still perform well. Maybe we'll see some new things as we play and discover some more differences.

Great as always, thanks for testing these out. I'm happy that the JAT are a good sidegrade, and that the difference in time between them in a lot of cases were insignificant.

the fact the trucks themselves can have an impact on which tire can be chosen, makes this a good/interesting dlc imo also thx for taking the time to make these comparisons

Great video, great testing.

The best part of this dlc for me, as a returning player starting fresh, is that you can get mud tires/offroad tires early. Cuts a lot of the annoying crawling around you have to do on highway tires when ranking up.

Overall, this is a great DLC. The new tires add a lot of flavor to the game and bring many of the older and less specialized trucks up to standard with the DLC trucks that have somewhat powercrept them, all without disrupting the balance too much or being outright pay-to-win. I'm going to take the results from the timed test with a pretty heavy pinch of salt though. Putting a ton weight over the rear axles without hitching a trailer and then sending it into the mud seems to bias the results in favor of thinner, more aggressive tires. In my experience, these kinds of tires really suffer when you hitch up a trailer and have to pull weight over a dead axle. Under these conditions, I find that more aggressive tires like the OHSs and UODs tend to quickly overwhelm soft ground, rip it up, and then get stuck in the mud they create (not to mention the damage they do to dirt roads you have to use for multiple trips). This is, in my opinion, the most overlooked positive of this DLC. Many trucks that were stuck with single narrow MHS1/DMHS/OHS tires (like the DAN and Derry 4520) and UODs (like many American trucks) as their best options seemed to have a much harder time pulling big trailer loads than options with wider, less aggressive tires; JAT MHS tires for the former and JAT OMD tires for the latter really seem to help bring them up to speed. As an aside, I'm just plain skeptical of the whole "cutting the mud" idea. For all the test results that everyone produces I've yet to make it work in practice. Every time I try to, I end up bogged down in mud that less aggressive tires would have ridden right over.

I'm about to go test these out on my trucks in the snow for the first time in Alaska. Wish me luck, buddy.

Awesome vid! Love the stuff Nate. Keep it up brother

The thing I appreciate most about the tire pack is the addition of the new MHS mud tires. Some trucks that were stuck with OHS tires as their best option now have a wider choice that's excellent in mud.

Heck yea can't wait to buy them

Nice job nathan🤗

Not mentioned in the video, the test strip used here gets deeper at every marker simulating entering a deeper condition of mud. While The JAT Tires seem objectively better In some cases; The OG tires still seem to be near the top of the charts as far as testing is concerned. In the Conclusion we talk about how some tires could be used from a case by case basis. From Testing & Referencing Other testers data, we have all found similar results across the board with a few differnces.The TWO videos linked are very interesting if you’d like more tire/performance info. 1st Tire Video & Tips For MudRunnin: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dIILT6cWQsE.htmlsi=Rt-1G8NKQ84lK5GZ 2nd Tire Video (Still Relevant After Evidence Found In Current Video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V8lEcwFleFo.htmlsi=cGQiDG98Qsi4rs-h Stream TESTING: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gZ7rjZOVvFU.htmlsi=am7C_LXguc9JA5x2

I think this is a good general consensus. There is more to be said about the Jat MHS tires. But you would need to test with a less extreme weight load, such as the van body, and in a more varied environment in order to say it. Good video dude.

Was waiting for this! Really nice analysis, i think the new tires are really good, maybe the devs didn´t want to put a really OP pack of tires, since everyone would call them out saying they are somehow making the game P2W. i think every truck has different needs, and some of this tires might be the answer for some of them! i was a little skeptical of buying it, but now i want to. Thanks Nathan! :)

I could see the JAT tires being good on certain stability challenged trucks like the Vorons or a lot of the NA trucks. On the Kolobs, I think being able to tractor through super mud a little faster with the OG MSH2s is still going to win out, the Kolobs are not exactly stability challenged. For Tayga and ANK, I still don't really see a compelling reason to not use the TMHS/AMHS tires due to their better stability, ESPECIALLY on the ANK. They definitely look like a very nice upgrade for scouts though, like good enough to consider using more than just the few OP scouts.

I did some tests by modifying the game files. I finally think I understand it completely. If there is not too much mud and the truck's clearance (but probably also its weight) allows you to hit a hard surface under the mud, use thinner tires with a high BodyFriction value. If the mud is really deep, nothing will help except wide tires (to keep the truck afloat - so basically only Tayga tires) and a high SubstanceFriction factor may help. Dual tires at the rear only help a little because the front dives and generates a lot of friction. In general, a high SubstanceFriction factor for narrower tires (assuming the truck weighs a bit) is probably not useful at all. Again, a wide tire, in medium and small mud it will be worse because it will not hit a hard surface. Worse (it will be slower), but it won't get stuck in very deep mud. Everything in between is some kind of balance. Now it doesn't surprise me that narrow tires are usually better (better means faster), because really deep mud is very rare. But it will just get stuck in this very deep mud. So Tayga tires are the best. They are not the fastest, but they have the best chance of not getting stuck. Additionally, they provide the best stability.

Thanks for testing. Some things came as no surprise. Scouts JAT levels the playing field. Even the notoriously tipy Scout 800 becomes quite forgiving. UOD 2 and OHD 1 out performing JAT was also expected. However the real surprise where MHS 1 out competing MHS 2 and JAT. Though like you said it's not that indicative to in game scenarios. I found the wider JAT variants to be more pleasant to drive, especially on trucks like the Twinsteer.

Nice video and effort, very helpful. Just one thing, sorry if I missed it in video. The video shows how tires performs in this particular strip, not the whole game at all. It seems very light mud layer followed by dirt ground. It's not that much surprising that narrower tires with good dirt rating which can sink into dirt layer under heavy weight of the fuel tank bests wider tires even with more mud rating. IMHO MHS II will always beat MHS I in harsher mud/snow conditions, every single time. To the topic, I think JAT MS III, JAT MHS IV and JAT MSH II are real upgrades over vanilla equivalents (for everything harsher than light mud).

Nice video. I'll stick with the Jat MHS 2, I like them. Went back to OHD 1 & UOD 2 for offroad dully trucks. Gonna keep the TMHS/AMHS 1 on most trucks that have those minus the Zikz and could couple trucks that downgrade the tire size, which I instead went for the Jat 1 dully muds. Gonna keep the MSH 2 on super heavy trucks.

On a quick test the Tuz 16 Actaeon really benefits from the new Jat tires. Mostly in terms of driving feel and stability. I used to keep an Actaeon with active suspension and medium sized chained tires around for nimble, icy shortcuts. But it always felt insecure and tippy. Just first impressions the Jats really improve on that, although not having chains to be fair.

Am i going crazy or everytime i enter the game and i remember to have JoAT tires installed i see the exclusive truck tires of Mack and Ken instead?😮😮

What maps were you time testing the tires on?

Something I'd like to see is some sort of "best setup/build for each vehicle" video based on your opinion and what kind of fleet you would use, if every vehicle had its own purpose/job. Especially with all the DLCs now. Because there is so much information out there that it quickly becomes confusing. I've tried to build a fleet of the "best vehicles" according to the internet, but I'm still having trouble with the engine, gearbox tires and add-on combinations. In the end I just picked almost the same setups even if the vehicles are different. Aaaaand that kinda doesnt feel right..especial because they all have sadles or cargo beds and i dont know which one i should use. :/

I'm still going to use the jat tires because I need another tire set to look at like watching them bounce

Would love it if there were a list that told us exactly what the best tires are

I always like to use the road north east of the garage as a test route, up to the first gas station in Black Badger Lake Wisconsin. However, since I'm not a professional, I'm wondering whether the route is good or whether there's too much water and not enough mud to be meaningful?

What about the special Zikz 605r/612 tires and the 420? I assume their special tires are still the best? I noticed the 605r new tires were wide but smaller diameter, which doesn't make any sense

I would say the single greatest thing about this is it gives off-road and mud tire options from rank one.

Hi nathan, don’t you think we need a new “amur difficulty” map with the trucks that we have now? Since the release of season 4 we just kept getting a better vehicles like the zikz 612H kenny 963 DS 15C-177 etc, while maps gets easier, I think to pump the excitement in the community we should get a new map that is just as hard or even harder than amur. I would love to have your opinion because your play style is like mine and we look at the game from the same POV.

Is there a sheet with the heigh and width of all tires? It would be so nice to have this info in the snowrunner tire comparsion sheet.

im still waiting for a youtuber to make a comparison of the new tires with the zikzez

Hi Nate! Kinda late with this but i revisited this video to compare JAT OMD 3 and JAT MMD 3 performance and i noticed that the shown values for the JAT OMD 3 at 4:40 are questionable, doesn't match with the values in Vlad Vulcan's Ultimate Snowrunner Data Spreadsheet in which the JAT OMD 3 friction values are : Asphalt: 0.8; Ground/Rock: 3.1; Mud/Snow: 1.8. I guess it's just a typo but clarification would be appreciated, Cheers !

So in other words its great for scouts and competitive on everything else. Good to know.

From the tyre stats it seems that the devs tried to take the older tyres and improve them but they failed, for some reason they just found the sweat spot for the stats on the old tyres

Hello! Did you test the ZiKZ 612H with its own tires vs the JAT MSH II / III? I'm really curious about that one. Also the TMHS/AMHS vs the OG MHS and the JAT MHS.

Btw, you haven't shown the new JAT OMS single mediums. They can be found on trucks with UOD singles - Bandit, Tatra 805... etc

Pleas add width to excel. From what I see, width is also important when choosing tires. Did I understand correctly that MHS I is better despite having worse statistics because it is narrower?

I still can't get my head around the fact that the plain old MHS I with 2.0/2.0 stats beats all the fancy new tires with their mud stat going up to 2.6. And even OHS II is faster than those !!! 🤯

Jack- tires What I noticed. GMC BRIGADIER 8000 didn't get JACK TIRES. Tire tread: HMD II +UHD II front and rear different profile Mud and off-road JAT MMD I+II+II front and rear profile twisted JAT OMD I+II+III Rear double tyres Twisted profile

My question is why the mods stopped working? I came back after a year and wanted to play with my friend, but no luck😢

Jat ms3 works great on the scout 800. Not so much on the hummer

Does this pack add new tires for the Western Star 49X?

This might sound strange but I think textures have a little to do with it like tire textures

how can I turn on the m/s of kph display

I think driving the trucks with a saddle rather then the heavy gas attachment would give a more accurate performance review as most players wont drive around with the gas attachment most times. just mo good video though.

I can’t play this game with the stance bug. How in the heck can they release a dlc like this?

What test map is this ? Not polygon 1 or 2 right ?

So, basically, the only DLC tires that are actually better are the mud tires. I get some of the other tires could be useful in specific circumstances, but I kind of expected more.

The top semi down shifted for no reason it seemed for no reason though.

tf i need new wheels for tatarin if his old ones are far better

Not first but Hi
