Food for thought: I’m a retired freight dog ( pilot that only flys freight). My last 25 years on the 18 wheeler ( B-747). Takeoff weights up to 900,000 lbs and speeds up to 180 mph. We always ran recaps and rarely had problems. One blown tire due to under inflation and one cap that came off over my career. I’ve watched your channel from the beginning and am always amazed how similar our work lives seemed. Keep up the great videos.
I'm just curious, do you know why that one cap came off? Odd if that was the only one.
Howdy 🤠
Your mustache reminds me of my great grandpa. He never shaved his mustache in his life. Passed away in 2007 at 84.
Michelin do have regrooving instructions with patterns for their truck tires on their website. They also have info on recaps.
Stan, with inflation rising, you may want to consider buying the new tires now and storing them in your shop until you are ready for them.
Hi Stan, I have Continentals and I love them! And I'm glad you're not doing re-treads, because then I'd have had to stop watching your channel...forever! God bless !!!
This is why new truckers should watch videos like this full of great free information.....great job Stan 👏 👍
Hmmm so I guess it's safe to say your newest job is tiring 😜...lol . 🇺🇸SALUTE Stan
Drum rimshot
LMAO
He's getting his groove on.
@@ivantotravel8665 🤭😜👍
Thanks man I just purchased a regroover broke owner operator here in 2024 so need to save all I can got 4 drives I need to regroove and 2 trailer tires thanks for the great video
STAN MY BROTHER I’VE BEEN DOING THAT SAME TRICK FOR YEARS....MY GRANDFATHER & FATHER TAUGHT ME THAT SAME TRICK. THEY WAS ALWAYS ABOUT GETTING ALL U CAN OUT OF THE TIRES...
My dad owned a service station for many years. I remember watching him regroove car tires when I was a kid. He also recapped tires. He only deepened the existing grooves and didn't add any cross grooves.
This is the first time doing this. We'll see if I goofed up. The way I see it I have nothing to loose. If this doesn't work I will just buy new tires like I was about to anyway. I may get a couple months more use from them
@@Sasnak i think they will work just fine!
Your intro with the sawzall reminded my of when my little brother couldn’t figure out how to get a flat tire off a bicycle: so out came the saw! :D
When I started trucking in the mid 70s I was working for my dads brother, we would do that. We would spend 2 days 10 hour day's. I learned something while doing that work, spending a dollar too save a dime was not the best way to run a business. Morel of the story is He went broke, I'm still at it. My My My.
China bombs are what I call Chinese tires 😎🍻😂
I put China tires on the car and I was like something from a 70s car chase movie taking corners at 25mph with all four tires squealing 😂
I agree with one of the other post below. You may want to go ahead and buy those new tires right now and put them in the barn until you get ready for them. Tires for my truck, ram 3500 Dooley, went up anywhere from $40-$50 a piece in the last 2 - 2 1/2 months. They are only going to get more expensive if you wait. And may get to a point that you can’t even get them.
Stan, better buy those new virgin rubber tires now and just store them in the shop. Rubber prices are rising fast, just like many other products. In a few months, any "savings" you may have had will have gone poof. Check the rubber market and the projections. There are supply issues. Good luck. Safe Travels and Happy Trails.
You never know what’s coming when you tune in to
Stan - great video - much appreciated!
Big Stan, for someone who hasn't done that before, you had a sure and precise hand and the results looked good. I think you would be great at cake decorating....😉
Stan got his groove on, he made a groovy video. When I lived in Thailand, I saw farm tractors with recaps made by home built rigs which made slightly egg shaped caps. With one egg shaped cap on each side, driven on pavement, the tractor would move up and down like a vintage coin operated kiddie car ride.
Hi Stan!
“Wherever wheels are turning, no matter what the load, the name that’s known is… Continental??… Where the rubber meets the road!!”
TIME SENSITIVE… Stan, order those Continental tires now! Prices will increase as demand rises and inflation takes its toll!!
Safe travels amigo! Godspeed.
Thank God you read my comment. Great job.
Our company had a really bad experience with Continentals and stopped using them. Although most of our operations is Single axle tractors and the wear a little different.
Tread you cut look great for the snow! Thanks STAN I learned something today!👍
A 25 minute video about tires? I've got to go to the pharmacy and stop at some other stores this morning. I'll have to come back and watch this later. 25 minutes?! I may have to watch this in shifts. lol :D
I got a mention!! TOP OF THE WORLD MA!! TOP OF THE WORLD!! Lol 😂😂😂
This is a interesting experiment, curious how they look when you take em off. All the engineering in that tread pattern, and you redesigned it : )...glad your going with new tires.
I had a lift axle that had a flat spot in it we Regrooved it also no problem worked great
My yoko 712 drives are made in the good old USA.....but my yoko steers are made in Japan 🤔🤔🥴🥴......that was a good looking out pattern when ya got through.... should start your own tire biz......"StanStone"........😀😀
I like the new look of the tires. They for some reason look to me like some sort of expensive truck racing tire :D
Also the music at the end was fun, thought like you are going to screw something up, but the tires turned out way better than I expected.
Also editing in various clips while talking, that some a BIG help. Makes the video a real quality video!
Could you make a video showing the end result? I'm very curious!
Been trying to watch this video for 20,000 years now getting a minute in at a time but crackheads in Montana keep walking up to me to ask me questions. Good idea on tires Stan! I have problems with glass and nails on mine but mine is a mini van I live in.
Good choice on the new tractor tires. The regrooved tires are a great set up for oval dirt track racing.
I’m all for being frugal, but I’d just buy some new tires. 😆
Good way to use a tire all the way🚦💯💯💯‼‼‼
Interesting subject, I have never heard of this. Looks like Michelin tires are designed with this in mind and have grooving indicators on the tires to help you dial it in. Good luck Stan!
Thats pretty cool. Good job Stan! 👏🏽👍🏽
Glad you are going for the new tires. You might want to order them soon though. Watching the guys that sell new trucks. One of the biggest things that they talk about is the availability of certain brands of tires. Plus the price is probably going to go up later in the year. JUST SAYING. Best of Luck to U. 🇺🇸💰😎
That’s pretty cool, never actually seen it done, but I remember an O/O talking about it…about 50 years ago…
Continental’s sound ok if you think the price is right, good luck Stan
I have to say, that’s pretty impressive!
Haven't watched your videos for already 3 months. Boy I've got some catching up to do.
Groovy, Looks like a PITA to me, but the end result looks nice, Have a good-one Stan...! 🤔
That's a few days of work there but saves on having to use credit card or what little money to replace all those tires. Few trailers need delivery first so you can put new tires on. Totally understand haha.
😎🇺🇸 lot of comments on brands, kind of like Ford, Chevy, Dodge, everyone chooses the one they have had good luck with or a history with. 🤩
Yes sir cool 👍
Tip for Sawzall's - when cutting most things aside from wood (or other fibrous materials) get a spray bottle with water, and a little bit of dawn dish soap.
The other tip, since he was cutting the open end, put some pressure on the tire so it is not bouncing with the blade.
Oh yeah Stan 👍 you done a fine job c'mon ..better patten that...before some sum buck steals your idea 💡
Conway, he did do a fine job but I wouldn't expect anything less than that. Stan is a capable man. I might get one of those burning tools and do some tribal tattoos for friends, relatives and neighbors. I know absolutely nothing about tattoos but I will do just like big Stan and just dive right in....😉
@@sandiewilliams7407 lol...ohhh yeah👍..
I know you made up your mind already but when my truck was new it came with Bridgestone m710. It was a good tire. It had a closed shoulder and lasted a lot of miles.
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who had no luck cutting tires.
Hope that regrooving works for you. Let us know if they make more noise. Pick up trucks with wide grooved tires can be pretty noisy, especially one that have diagonal grooves.
Stan, try wetting the rubber, using lube makes rubber cut a lot easier
Hey Stan,
Just Perfect,
V MAN
Always a Good thing to know Stan thank you man for tellin us how to get the good tires Got a Question for you Can you run through the DOT checkpoint for you when you roll through the checkstations what they look for
I always learn something from you!! Good job!
Glad to hear it!
My experience with recaps is they don't wear out, they blow out.
Although I am absolutely terrible about keeping tire pressures where they should be.
Michelin is a French brand and Bridgestone is a Japanese brand :)
You should do that to all the tires on the rear of your truck
That's how they turned racing slicks into rain tires at Road Atlanta back in the early 80's. I'm sure they did it before then but that's when I started hanging out at the track. Learned a lot of cool tricks from hanging out in the pit area and talking to the mechanics, crew members, owners and drivers.
I never had a problem with the Bridgestone drive tires on the company trucks I drove.
I've heard good things about Good Year and Michelin tires.
I've seen them make car and pickup tires at the Good Year plant in Ohio. The tires are heated under pressure.
Nice job on the tire.
Did that once. Did not get a lot of miles after regrooving them. Have be so careful not to hit the cords.
Hey Stan, I think you might’ve just found yourself a new side hustle
Nice
I understand Stan we all want to see money tires are good why not recap them video was very good I think you're right on about the Recaps. I think we just got to check our tires and make sure they're fully inflated with the proper pressure in our tires especially Recaps
Great information. Video 👍
That is a lot of work if you do all 8! And buy the new tires now before prices go up! They will! Mount them later.
Grooving is a big deal with dirt track racers. I haven’t grooved a truck tire since late 70’s. DOT INSPECTORS see grooved tires and they start looking harder for other places you may be trying to save money. Good luck if you get a young one who has never seen a regrooved tire. Keep up with the great videos
Not sure I would have the guts to do that... Wish you all the luck.
Great minds haha I was just looking at that exact tire groover to get my tires thru the summer,I've had great luck with Chinese tires they only last about a year tho hauling 140000lbs gross weight
GOOD LUCK!
Dang Stan you got a fall back occupation.
Continental best tire! Just bought 8 new trailer tires
I ran a chinses set, and I am short haul, heavy, they did not last at all. The caps from Nashville, have stayed 3 times longer.
Forget the tires--that shirt is below the legal limit!
Mmmmmmm? Tires are such an important aspect to safety, handling and ride quality. I'm all for saving a buck, but hardly seems risking it all Stan by regroving. Remember the old saying you get what you pay for. Best of luck.
As long as you don't damage the belts there is no problem with re-grooving.....the belts are the strength, the rolling surface rubber is just a wear surface
Stan, take the discount and just bite the bullet and get all new tires and be done with it for a while.
Not exactly sure which tire or tires they are making but Continental just opened up a new plant right off I-20 in Clinton just west of Jackson the State Capitol of Mississippi. I wanna say I heard that they are making truck tires.
Why is that one tire wearing faster than the others? Another great video. I've never heard of this before.
That's a slick setup. Wonder why the that particular tire is wearing that way. You thinking it indicates another issue or just a fluke?
I keep hearing about a rubber shortage and that the price of tires will soon be going up. Might want to buy the tires now.
Regrooving aways works... The way you do it you litteraly make a great ride for atleast 20.000 (with a load upto 20t)km (knowing the empty Trailers youre hauling and carefull driving you might get 25.000km out of them *letting it coast and smooth acceleration* + very little actual braking)
Keep The Rubber Side down !
Passed you on 95 south bound in North Carolina Friday the 23 got a good pic of the truck i sent it to you on Instagram
I guess if the sidewall says you can, and the DOT is ok. Dad had a taxi fleet. He had one. Tried it once and decided it was dangerous foolishness. But that was the 1980s.
First video “120ish a tire” would be a good gamble but 250.00 for drive tires definitely I wouldn’t take that gamble if you are little over $100.00 away from new tires and have better peace of mind that they’ll hold together also Be little earlier on the fenders. 😂
Cutting new grooves definitely will let you throw the rock down and road so you can get every penny out of the tires, especially when you can just put a bandage on the one tire so you don’t have to change the other 7 just because of one tire. Good information I knew tire grooving was a thing , but cool to see one being used!
Take the blade of the skill saw and turn backwards. Then it will cut metal instead of wood.
Should check for stone bores.
Not positive but I think those angled grooves your cutting should be angled in the opposite direction to direct the water back and away, the way your cutting is making the water go forward as the contact patch hits the road.
A skillsaw is called a circular saw.
SASNAK I HOPE THIS IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY FIRST BIG RAIN AND YOU ARE HEADING FOR THE DITCH BE SAFE STAN OH YES PLEASE GO BUY THE DAM TIRES I HAVE ENJOYED THE VIDS ABOUT THE RUBBER MEETING THE ROAD (LOL)
Hmm? Was it at Flying-J with their fancy repair trucks? The tire truck guy refused to sell me retreads. He won't stock them he said.
There is only one way to finish off tires. Smoke show !
those cross grooves might make those tires noisy.
Will they pass DOT Thank you enjoy your videos
As long as you dont cut too deep and expose the metal cords
Well if you get tired of trucking am sure a dirt track team's could use another crew member grooving tires...
You’ll be sorry if the dot ever finds a visible cord. Very easy to spot cause they rust right away.
Make sure you have all of your wheel bearings retorqued .You will not believe the difference after you put on new tires.
Absolutely 👍
I run Continental. Haven't had an issue. I wouldn't run Goodyear again. Wore way to fast.
I've never done regroove. But up here in Canada no one does it. Like you said. Cost. And I don't have the time or want to do it lol
My only concern is DOT having an issue with partial re grooving and you cutting new grooves....
Hate to tell you stan, but you just made mud tires for your semi tractor. You also lost a lot of traction. Those lugs you made.. oof. Be safe with those tires, and drive carefully as if you are driving off road and not on highway.
Well let's see how many exports there are about what you did wrong and what you should have done instead of what you did. Safe travels. LOL.
No lack of experts in the trucking industry
Im running Lancaster 24.5 virgin drives. $2250 for all 8 and then are wearing really good
Same idea with your tires wearing unevenly. The one that is worn off more is lower than the one beside it. Now it Carrying less weight then other therefore putting more stress on higher one causing it the over heat. Eventually blow because you were trying to save money. Not worth it.
Look,s like you found a new job LOL
Morning Stan. Do you have a tire pressure monitor in the cab to keep an eye on your tire pressures? We have that on our travel trailer and love it.
Yes, Its called a tire gauge I use about every 4-5 days. Old school.
