Top notch video Scotty! I'm 77yrs and my Father was born in Fifeshire, Scotland in 1899. My Grandad & he owned a garage which they developed from Grandad's Blacksmith business. They were both natural engineers and as a Design Engineer & DIYer myself I was in awe of their design of a trailer, of which they made about a dozen of for the local farmers around the small Fifeshire village. I'm very proud of our Scottish (not Scotch BTW, that's something else! :) inventiveness and I still have a Postcard promoting John Dunlop's products, from early 1900s, which my Dad left. There was nothing Dad didn't know about servicing the model T Ford and he marvelled, at the time, about the thin components they used for the crankshaft etc as I think the USA metallurgy was ahead of ours then. Of course, we're ahead now! 🤪 Key Pup the good, even great, work Scotty! What the hell are we going to do when you're gone? NoAxe

Reasonable to use those in Toronto. However, places like Ottawa or Montreal get more snow and winter tires provide better stopping distance. The CC2s are great, but winters are better still.

Good vid. Being a retired Industrial Engineer from BF Goodrich in Akron, I give you an A+. Goodrich sued Goodyear early on for name infringement. Since Charles Goodyear never ever worked for Goodyear, Goodrich claimed they were simply naming their company similar to Goodrich to make people get confused and buy Goodyear tires believing they were made by Goodrich - which was an established name and, at that time, a much larger and better known company. Goodrich lost that legal fight but did years later launch an advertising campaign with their “We’re the other guys” line. Remember the kids looking up saying “look, it’s the Goodrich blimp!”

@berryconway4296 2 года назад

Excellent work on this video. As someone who lives in a colder climate I've always wanted to have winter and summer tires but.... jeez the expense of 4 tires and wheels, and then you've got to have a place to store them when not in use, and then you have to pay your mechanic to change them twice a year (unless your young enough to DIY it).

In case no one mentioned it yet, the tire at the very beginning of the video is the Pirelli Winter Cinturato, made in Russia and it got me thorough a blizzard a few years back. It morphs into an all-season tire as the tread wears down, with the tread indication "No Snow" after about 12,000 miles. These tires are a necessity in winter here in the North East.

@ogshotglass9291 3 года назад

Added note from the end during tire pressure bit: if you are either racing or going to be continually driving on a highway for long periods of time in weather above 90 degrees, be sure to let out a little air actually, especially close to the engine. The friction from the road and ambient engine temperature causes heat buildup and increases tire pressure, and the tire can pop in those conditions. I see blown tires constantly here in the SoCal desert in Barstow in the summer due to over-inflated tires or properly inflated tires driven too long. It regularly hits above 110 degrees Fahrenheit here in the summer, and in August can go to around 115-120 highs and 85 degree lows for close to a week straight. Much of the people I've helped have tried to go from Los Angeles areas to Las Vegas or Needles or vice versa nonstop, except stopping for gas in Barstow. NOT a good idea actually to do that nonstop.

Hey Mr. Kilmer! I love your content. Always informative and respectful. Doesn’t hurt to mention that I’m a former Texan from close to the same Houston area as yourself. I currently drive a 2015 Ram. V6, reg cab 4x4. I put a set of BF Goodrich TA ko 2 on her. I’m Currently in west KY close to the land between the lakes. As you know, we got a ton of snow and ice. These tires along with the 4x4 capabilities of my Ram are amazing. I have no trouble with stop line acceleration, turning, or flat out stopping. The truck goes where I want it to. I only break traction when I want to. I just want to say that if you have a 4x4 and live in any area that has adverse weather conditions, the TA KO 2 tire is the way to go. Amazing grip and performance. Even in summer driving. Keep up the great work. From one Texan to another, yeehaw.

Very interesting history of the tire. When I was a teenager I worked in my grandfather's tire store then at a Goodyear tire store changing tires. Back then it was dirty, hard, work, especially trucks, and especially dangerous with split rims and tractor tires that had to be put inside steel cages when filling. Another worker who didn't take precautions when filling up a tractor tire and sat on it while filling it got launched across 3 bays and was lucky not to be killed.

Occasionally we have similar incidents involving the old bias ply style aircraft tires we replace at the airfield I work at. Every tire supposed to be caged, but even then they do occasionally blow and boy does that cage get bent up from the shrapnel hitting it.

Amazing job, Scotty! Tires 101 - 111 in under 11 minutes !!! Great history lesson and all the needs to know about tires in one short video! Very pleasant video class! Thank you, Scotty once again, for do what you do and sharing your auto love with millions around globe! We, the regular folk that can't afford to buy a new car period ( forget about buying new model every year without hitting national lottery! ) do love your videos and learn a whole bunch about cars! P.S. To bully lawyers of big car companies: is there consciousness involved in being a$$ holes?

Might have been a good idea to talk about UTQG, Temperature & Traction ratings. Example: 720 A B It's important when comparing tires.

@solarfall2728 3 года назад

Those ratings are almost meaningless. Each company rates their own tires, and there's no set standard that everyone uses. Back in the 80's, when people started reading things like Consumer Reports, customers started looking at these numbers and the tire companies kept re-rating the same exact tire with higher and higher treadwear numbers. Those numbers really don't count for much.

@tacocin 3 года назад

@@solarfall2728 Partially correct ... manufacturers do indeed assign their own ratings. However, they do so under the guidance of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) who establishes the Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards in 49 CFR 575.104. The NHTSA has the right to inspect the tire manufacturer's data and can fine them if inconsistencies are found.

@solarfall2728 3 года назад

@@tacocin I'm not partially correct. I'm 100% correct. Those numbers are a scam. I've seen with my own eyes the same exact tire get re-rated every year or so to keep up with other companies. Its fairly well documented. The laws aren't too specific. That's how they get away with it. Its been going on for decades.

@boobtubeakatv1296 3 года назад

@@solarfall2728 The reason they get re-rated is from the change in construction. They may look the same to your eyes but different in the makeup. NHTSA does a good job at holding tire companies liable for mislabeled ratings. They could and have lost millions from liabilities.

@solarfall2728 3 года назад

@@boobtubeakatv1296 You're wrong. I'm not guessing. What I'm telling you is a fact. You can check for yourself, and believe what you wish. But regardless of what your beliefs are, the exact same tires were re-rated. Check for yourself.

Fun Fact: the Michelin Tire Company created the "Michelin Star Award" in the 1960's as a way to sell more tires by granting awards to restaurants that would get people traveling great distances too eat there.

@@sylviahouder6665 they created the Michelin guide because back then you had to travel great distances to get your tires changed and it took a long time so people needed to know where they can go get a bite to eat locally that's good.

@daven6145 Год назад

As a tire salesman, can you tell me why big car companies (I have a VW GLI, which is probably a great-handling car, I don't know--, but on the OEM Hankook tires, it's a terror!) put junk OEM tires on their sporty cars year after year--even as heaps onf byers complain about how dangerous the tires are on their car? I won't buy any brand of car that does that ever again!!!
