- Operation Cheap Jeep continues on BleepinJeep! In this installment I buy some cheap tires for a cheap Jeep. But hey, they look really good, they ride really good, will they offroad really good? Stay tuned to find out! But in this episode I want to talk a little about road force balancing or force matching. If you've never heard of it don't be ashamed, I had't either until I went over to Jason's shop at Rock Your 4x4! Ohh and by the way, we are raffling this thing off at the Jeep Invasion in August!

Lots of people overprice their junk on Craigslist, but you can also find some good deals too.
Like if the ad says "Would make a good project vehicle" it really means it's a piece of shit they can't fix.
"$400 used but good 33" Chinaco mud claws. Around 50% tread left (1/64"), rims are good (only three of them leak but they'll hold air a whole day if you don't drive it). Will drop off at your place for an extra $50. No low balls; I know what I have."
evilassaultweaponeer I'll take them
Well crap! When I was in college and it was just 10 years ago, I worked in a alignment and tire shop. Seeing this video made me realize how far even mounting and balancing technology has come along. Great video thanks for no music! Just watching a man do his job...something satisfying about that :)
I really didn't think when I heard how cheap they were they would be that nice, decent sidewalls and everything, awesome!
you know you're at the right place when there are 30 Jeeps outside :)
31's never looked so big.
Finally starting my Jeep build! I have had da ton of ZJ's over the years but I finally get to build one the way I have been wanting. Picked up a new Iron Rock Off-road Premium 3.5" lift and a new rear sway bar. Also running some new 31" general grabber all terrains. Can't wait to get the axles trussed, lockers and a winch. I also have the np231 swap with the 5.2. Your builds are good motivation.
The yellow dot on the tire is for aluminum wheels supposed to be lined up with the valve stem the red dot the same thing but for steel wheels if he would have done that the balance and run out all together would have been closer 👍😎
well for one that is a great machine but from what i saw at 9:20 there is a yellow dot on the tire that lines up with the valve stem and he didn't line them up so your tire will be farther out of balance than it's supposed to be
i go to a tech school, and we have the tire and balance machines like those, and its nice to actually understand what the stuff on there meant. like runout. my instructors never taught me anything past putting the right weights on. that was some good info!!
tire machines and balancers are incredible nowadays..i worked in the tire and wheel business for 10 years and was amazed at seeing tech brought into the industry. thanks for sharing.take care.
Hey look on the bright side, you could sell your old, bald tires for $400, right?
+DullBoyJack probably true!
appreciate the road force explanation, heard of it awhile back but never knew what it does.
I have the same balancing machine at my work. Well used to. We have one left but we upgraded the rest to the newest model which uses lasers and magic to size the wheel and show where the weights need to be placed.
Liam S
That painted dot on the sidewall is suppose to be lined up with the valve stem.
I was thinking about that around 9:08 Isn't it suppose to be yellow dot on valve stem unless you have a red dot than "red rules". Something like that. Probably not the end of the world but I was thinking the same thing.
John true and true for both of you. You don't need to line up the dots, but if you can and remember to before you put air in the tire, you should do it. It just means you don't need to put on as many weights.
why cant the folks that put on tires ever learn that !
i have been telling them that for years and they all just look at me like i am making shit up
Liam S - If he would have turned the tire he could have properly mounted it with nearly no weights. I don't always line up the dot, because I will position the tire until it barely needs any weight. Just because it zeros out on the balancer doesn't mean it's "right". Plus customers here like there tires "show mounted" to their wheels and don't care, so the tire sidewall lettering gets centered to the wheel and never put weights on the face of the wheel. That tire in this vid never should have taken that much weight. I'm not being rude, it's hard to explain correctly by writing on here.
K Digiacomo of course that's ideal. That's similar what koeniggsegg does with their carbon fiber wheels. The add a few extra layers of carbon fiber to offset the weight of the tpms sensor so additional weights won't be needed. I work at a tire shop that requires speed because we get a lot of customers because we are in a highly populated area of Los Angeles, and also down the street from the notorious The Snake where jay Leno does his Jay Leno's Garage videos and car and motorcycle enthusiasts up and drive (and very often drift) up and down all day every day so we get a lot of performance cars. If I didn't need to be speedy with servicing a cars tires, I would do what you do, but alas I cannot :(
You should see the balancers we have at discount tire. Ours measure with lasers only so you don't have to use the data set arm which he used to measure the wheel. it does automatic Road Force to measure run out and the hood automatically opens by itself oh I forgot to mention it's all touch screen too!
TXBEER REVIEWS Hunter hammerhead? We use them at Kauffman tire. I love it
TXBEER REVIEWS we had one... Hunter road force... But we barely fuck with tires and it took up too much space. Everyone goes to discount so there's no point.
Damn that's pretty awesome.
When I started watching this I thought I knew everything about tire balancing and tire balancing machines. Good video thanks for sharing.
Tire tip use side cutters to cut the bottom of the value stem (inside the tire) off and thy pull through really easy and fast
I'd say that was a darn good deal, around $130+ each👍. Heck of a tire and balancing machine, interesting!!!
We usually only road force if there is an issue balancing or an issue with a tire. same with run out, if it says it needs like 10+ ounces of weight you know you need to run those tests.
Most all new tires have a dot marked on the side wall from the factory indicating the heavy side of the tire. This typically gets placed either near or away from the heavy or light side of the rim depending on type of rim alloy, steel, TPS. A welded steel rim is typically heaviest at the weld. Some alloy TPS rims are heaviest at the valve stem hole, some are not. These are the starting points before force matching.
Federal couragia tires don't last long but they hook real good
Do a headliner video for cheap jeep. Should be cheap and interesting. Plus it looks like it needs one
Yeah, I'll second that. Something I'll be needing to do to mine eventually
Something mesmerizing about mud tires getting mounted....
I run those same tires and absolutely love them
Shop I'm at has the same machine. It's a pretty spiffy tool. Real useful for elimination wheels and tires as a concern for felt vibrations from the road. Also great for spotting a bent wheel.
Ahh the new mud tire hum on the way home , got to love it
Dude you have a great sense of humor! Love your videos, I’m not new to off-roading but a Jeep noob, learning a good amount of info. Thanks!
thanks for watching!
I noticed that your right rear has 2 weights almost 90 degrees away from each other. Your tire guy needs to calibrate his balancer. The only time you should have 2 weights on the same plain is like your right front where the weight calls for more than 3.00 ounces and they have to put 2 combined weights side by side to 0 out. The right rear is what is know as counterbalancing a tire.
Those new tires look great. I wish we here in B.C. Canada could purchase dem ere too .LOL .Butt seri ouly Bleeper , nice rubber on your Gumby thar. Cheers ,keep the shiny side up.
Im looking for new cheaper tires to replace my worn out Pro comp MT2'S and couldnt help but notice how similar the tread pattern is on these. (Almost identical) I might have a winner! The mt2's did great for me.
Achilles xmt
I noticed your headliner was stripped off. I did the same to mine and ended up spraying a coat or two of rubber undercoating on it. Scraped all of the headliner foam off before I did it also. Looks good, won't sag, and cost about 12 dollars instead of redoing the headliner. If it gets a scuff just spray a quick squirt on it and you are good to go. Just an idea for jeep folks out there who don't want to spend a whole lot or want to deal with headliner laying on the top of your head while driving.
Wish I had this info yesterday!! Had to take off my 1 year old COOPER DISCOVERER STT 33"tires and buy BF GOODRICH KM2 tires because nobody could balance them!! Thought it could be those PRO COMP rims, but now the tires are running well with no DEATH WOBBLE.....
Woah, my 1998 Ford Ranger came with the same set of rims. I always wondered where they came from. Pretty cool to see ahaha
Love the guys at RY4x4! Great work and great wheelers. The red dot on the tire is supposed to line up with the valve stem though as I have been taught.
Gotta love those guys at Rock Your 4X4!
Interesting timing. Just had this done on my JK yesterday when troubleshooting front end vibration (problem solved), then watched your video explaining it.
hi I just swapped my 87 xj axle with a axle from a 95 xj that's not vacuum was wondering if the lines to the old housing can just be plugged off they constantly suck air so any help would be greatly appreciated
I just purchased 5 Achilles Desert Hawk X-MT 37 inch tires for my LJ. ($1336 shipped)
do you have a link to where we can buy these tires? :)
Achilles xmt
Also the hub centric cone should be on the inside of the wheel while balancing its meant to simulate the hub centric centering of a normal hub on a car
I found a great deal on Craigslist. Someone was getting rid of literally new Goodyear authorities and wrangler tires for $200 I was able to talk him down to 160 . Still have them on my ranger. They're also 31s
I loved the wallet scene! It was funny AF!
It’s a typical Jeep owner’s wallet.
I've punished these 285/75-16 recaps from tirerecappers for 32k+ miles on my Rubicon and they still have over 6/32's of tread. $700 for 5 shipped with the crushed acorn shell and matching BFG carcasses for winter traction. Just mentioning another option than the Chinese stuff.
I just got a set of these tires less than a month ago for my 99 xj, they are about the best riding mt I've had
You're supposed to put the cone on the inside hub of a wheel when using a Hunter GSP 9700. The front hub bore is to hold a center cap, that's about it.
Really cool video. Pep boys has the same machine, just finding someone that works there that cares enough to use it to its full potential... that's tricky
It's not about totally about caring enough, it's about the money. Flat rate guys mostly do care enough but if it's a true road force issue it's a pain in the ass to have to break everything down and do it right and it doesn't pay much, either. And most general service techs that do tire work either don't understand it, or they don't care.
A bought those tires for my XJ except 32s and they're the best tires ive owned so far , the price of them almost had me skeptical but then I tried them out and they're a quality tire and a great price you can't beat
ive had those same Achilles desert hawk xmt tires in a 33 12.50 15, my favorite tires so far
Great find! Our 95' GC was an Awesome off road Jeep.
I'm in Crossville, I'll have to check them out !
Heck of a deal! Pretty good video man 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
hello if you look at the new tires they have a direction of rotation and the red dot marked is the lighter side of the tire there it aligns with the air valve ----- I think those who mounted the tire did not pay attention to my language is not english sorry for using translator
Need long arms or at least some adjustable mid-length ones for your rear end there to get those new tires centered up in the fender wells
They look legit. I actually kinda like the tread pattern.
I'm just minding my business over here building a jeep liberty lol
Chase Williams same here brother what year
recently got almost new tires and better rims for my xj for $200 from a guy parting out a car. grabbed a cd player, headlight, and bezel too.
That is Mark Wheat’s OFF CAMBER !!! He’s an amazing dude. You should get together with him.
Excellent arts and crafts. 11/10 would recommend
Your tires are great looking! It also is a much better look on the Jeep!!
I bought a set of Treadwright tires and have had nothing but problems.
Couple hundred dollars down the drain just in having shops try and
figure out why they wobble so bad (Out of round). I have contacted
Treadwright multiple times just to have them tell me that despite
purchasing the warranty they still can't help me.
That balancer is a lot better than my ancient Hoffman. Pretty sweet, wish I could afford one of those.
Have these tyres slightly different here in nz dont have the serping. Not bat off road but in the wet on tarmac they are dangerous
Cheap tires are perfect for what the jeep will be used for. Not like it's a daily or anything. I went with bfg AT ko2 on my xj but that's just because I couldn't finance cheap tires lol those are usually a cash deal thing. Took me 7 months to payoff $1000 worth of tires but nothing compares to bfg all terrain imo.
Looks a lot better. Did you happen to look into a set of Treadwright Guard Gogs or Claws? They are a remolded tire. They used to let you request the carcass that was used. So, if you wanted good sidewall protection and flex, you could request the Claws on BFG KO2 carcasses. Just another cheap option for what I hear are decent tires.
+elfirebeasto we put treadwrights on Tims green machine.
So what brand and modle we're those tires??
If you own a Wrangler NEVER mess with the grill, EVER.
agreed
Leon Springs Boys TV lol soo scarry
Yeah man, someone needs to feed those jeeps a snickers bar...
That song you put at the beginning just reminded me of a commercial and I can't remember what the commercial is
The intro was really cool!
Look for that tire dot on the sidewall of the tire, that is where you line up the tire with the valve stem foe better balance.
As a tire builder for the Uniroyal Goodrich tire plant in Opelika I can assure you that the "tire dot" on the side of a tire is simply a quality control stamp for a QC inspector. It has absolutely nothing to do with mounting purposes. We DO NOT mount every tire and run road force to determine where the heavy spot is. Secondly, it would not make any sense to do so as almost no rim is exactly the same, so one rim may be more out of round at the stem and another 180 degrees from the stem. The dot is only a myth! Yellow is Tuesday, red, Wednesday, and green Thursday. As the inspectors work 3 on 4 off shifts. It also coincides with the dot date code. Yellow 2218 would mean that tire was inspected Tuesday the 22nd week of 2018. Occasionally you have 2 dots. One will always be white. This second dot means the tire didnt meet QC but is still good for what used to be known as a "Blem" tire. It is safe for the road, but there is a noticeable defect somewhere. If you have 2 colored dots the tire didnt pass QC but was rerun through the banbury and passed the second time.

Thanks
How about an update on how much $ you have in the cheap jeep so far. :)
over budget... its a jeep...
Of course, that's a given. But by how much....
SNAFU
shit i have 1,200 in my jk and other than the light bar you can barely tell, jeep problems.
It’s pretty awesome how you can just change your wheel and tire turn cool truck into a bad ass truck!!!!
Thanks 🙏
nice tires and hell of a deal . i my self 37s 38s or 40s . but it all depends on the height i gess .im cheaking all your videos love them all .
Well worth the extra $136!!! Love me some new rubbers!
You did the slow mo money shot of the NOT cheap Jeeps and I still like your ZJ more
I work for discount tire, and we use those same machines to balance! We use the balancers a little different, though. We use the changing machines WAY different, it was actually kinda hard to watch haha.
+Garrett McDevitt do you guys use the machines to force match?, or do you just have the machines? I've always wondered how seriously these guys take their jobs... I've had hit and miss service from discount tire.
BleepinJeep first off, I can all but guarantee that the hit or miss service is from new techs. There's a HUGE learning curve (usually around 6 or 7 months to get proficient)
As far as force matching goes, we don't usually force match on the first mounting unless the customer requests it. The construction on modern day tires and wheels (especially on passenger tires, which is mostly what we do) is so good that it's rarely necessary. Big run-outs really only happen on larger vehicles, which have beefier suspension, and more tolerance for out of round tires. But if a customer complains of vibrations after the tires are balanced, we'll road force them. I hope that makes sense. If you have any questions, let me know!
Wow your right front tires have lots of weights....maybe instal on the rear instead 🤔. Looks good tho 👍🏼
Awesome videos. Subbed. I have a 2000 Jeep GC,WJ. 3.5" lift on 31" Mud's. You've inspired me big time. Thanks.
for anyone interested about the Achilies XMT......theyre the exact same tire as the Pro comp Xtreme M/T 2.....but for like $100 less a tire.
I have them on my XJ (33x12.50/15) and they're awesome!
Love the TH-cam mechanic patch that you have in your store.
like what u did to the black jeep . with some 37 military oz would hit it right .
Good job Matt. That was really interesting.
You forgot to tell them to glue them on with GeoCel. What if you want to go down to 3 psi now?
Hey,you forgot your camera at the tire shop in the end of the video. lol great informational video
5:48 anyone else think he was driving right up onto those pallets?
It looked very tempting! 😄
Most of those at the tire shop aren't legal to drive on the street here. Tires can't stick out more than 2" beyond the wheel well. And if they stick out at all. You are required to have mud flaps.
Thom Geren all state laws are different. Here in Michigan your tires can stick out all you want. No flare or mud flap laws.
Mr1998jeepcherokee I know they are different. That is why I made the statement where I live. Where you live they have frost laws. A lot of roads don't say if you are allowed to go down them certain times of the year. Until you get caught. Got busted twice there. Next time I want a map. Lol.😂 👍
Looks great with those tires and sounds good too 👍🏻
Where is the introduction of the penny? Ive been trying to find it? Can anyone tell me? The one where he is picking up a penny like if he just found $100usd!
check out the cheap jeep playlist
I have stock 94 x j sport what would be largest tire I could put without lift or fender mods.new springs in rear so no sag.any help would be appreciated. Thanks love the channel
Personally on my own stuff. I road force everything. You should get a few miles on the tires before you do it tho. Brand new tires are never balanced after a few thousand miles
This was really cool and interesting to watch.
If you by a new tire, there is a small yellow dot on the sidewall... this dot marks where the valve for inflating the tire shoult be. If you place the tire right according to the small yellow dot you dont need to ballance so mutch.
Correct. It represents the lowest point of the sidewall. I nailed that dot *almost* every time
That's a nice looking Ford
Holy bolt ons!
Why didn't he match the valve stem with the yellow dot on the tire? If you match it up there's a possiblity little to no weight would be required.
Holly shit. How did you come up with your visual aid for run out? That’s really cool way of depicting it. I thought this ought to be good when started to explain it. But really good man. I think the way you showed it was right on. I can’t ever explain anything. Well done.
Tires look really good! Is that like a house brand your buddy sells at his shop? I've never heard of those before, but they look sharp and like the perfect candidate for cheap jeep!
Супер шины.
If given the option of taking a wrangler, but it has the fab fours bumper permanently attached. Or taking a stock renegade, I'd take the renegade.
jesse77wilson word! Agreed!
jesse77wilson just give me an xj brotha!
Love a lifted XJ, they're way too uncommon in my area.
What was the lift on the Jeep? I have a 3 inch lift...would 31 be ok?
