There was enough new content with each tire to make it worthwhile to watch 'till the end. I kinda like long videos as long as they're well made, which this is! Nice sound effects BTW 😄
You should scrub the wheels clean before trying to balance them. Sometimes dirt clots and grease blobs will throw off the balance. Also, a red dot or other manufacturers mark should be place at the valve stem when mounting the tires. Good video Bro.
"Feel like I'm looking at something naughty".......Gotta admit, that "Treadwear 700" rating is HOT. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good job on the tires! I noticed on that wheel that wouldn't balance a spot on the rim where it looked like it was bent. Near the bead on the inside. So, I imagine it was.
I’m pretty sure it is. Fortunately, the new owner was able to snag another Crager true spoke rim and is shipping it out to mount on the car so he will have a good set of non bent rims again🤣.
Last tire you balanced. If you just took that previous weight off and moved it toward where it wanted the .25 it will have balanced out. Only had to move it maby the width of that .25 weight
I'm sure you probably know this but you can accurately determine what the correct psi should be using the information on your vin and tyre sidewall. Your vin should show maximum axle weights front and rear. You need this number. Your tyre will as well as a load index letter, have the maximum load in kg at a given pressure. You can now work out how much pressure your tyre needs to support say 20kg this might be something like 1psi. Now with the axle weight from the vin divide that in half to get the wheel load let's say 750kg. You know that 1psi supports 20kg so divide the 750 by 20 is 37.5psi. Easy. This way you will be very close to getting even tread wear assuming that the tracking and alignment is good.
@@SwedeMachine One thing I have found out is these newer tires that have a higher MAX PSI rating than the tires of yesteryear drive and handle like a total fish if you run them at the factory vehicle recommended pressure. Those Hankooks like to run at about 5 PSI below max pressure for the best ride, handling and straight line tracking I have found out. I've had several sets of Hankook's in various different sizes and 2 sets of Arizonian silver edition tires made by Cooper that also have a high max PSI and the same deal with those as well. I run the Hankook Kinergy ST P215/75/14 on my 4 door galaxie and I run those at 45 PSI. Believe it or not, it rides better with the tires pumped up to 45 PSI and it has WAY less body roll and drives straighter on bad roads. It drives like a fish at 35-40 PSI in the tires.
@MattsRageFitGarage Really now? Ok 10-4 on that! Full discourse I don’t have much experience with Hankook’s. Obviously it’s been a while since I’ve bought tires for myself as I’m not used to these new 50 psi ratings. I’m always used to the 44PSI max tires. The car did seem to have a bit of roll, even though it’s a land yacht. I’ll bump them up to 45 and see how that goes. Thank you much for the information I appreciate it!
What is this, reverse-clickbait? Mundane title but it's actually over an hour of entertaining content? Maybe not the most interesting this time around, but I like listening to you blabber on. Some scrubbing with soapy steel wool pads would remove most of that rust from those wheels. Definitely would make them daily driver worthy, if that's what this will become.
I debated about not recording this at all. And I thought content is content, even if it’s coming from me ha ha. Yeah, I might hit the rust spots of the rims quick before I sell it. I don’t know if I call myself entertainment but I guess you guys will be the judge in the end.🤣🤣
