I have bought tires on line and most of those sights have a local place to mount and balance tyres and tired dis & remounting is labor INTENSIVE. Why not save your time and let someone with equipment do it? Tim's cursing is coming along nicely. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL from the left coast
I like the cooper st/maxx, but I am thinkin the bfg a/t ko2 is the best all around tire going, 365 days of the year. Have them on three trucks, and the new balancing beads out now are amazing, another great video Wes!!
damn such a familiar sight ,, i just did this exact same thing to my truck today ,, 6 new tires and i did it the exact same way by hand with a flat bar
Most tires have a paint dot, usually blue or red. If you line up that dot with the valve stem, and it makes it easier to balance with less weight needed
Nice. I guess Ive never heard of balancing tires like that...interesting! I have bought several sets of tires online over the last few years....way cheaper than a tire store and they come within a day or two....I think the UPS guy hates me sometimes though. I take them to a local mom and pop type tire store a town over to get mounted because I have no way of doing it here.
Interesting. I've never heard of these balancing beads, but I would really like to see how these turn out. The Mastercrafts on my truck are getting worn down and I would be willing to do this on my truck and save some money by not going to a tire shop.
people with concerns about this balance method should not be concerned!! semi trucks have used balance powder for yrs! we will run a virgin tire out and then we sell the casings to be capped and the casings are fine!!! this method is better because if the tire or rim gets some slight damage the balance is changing to what it needs!! the old balance weights just sit there for the duration!! new car companies have been talking about switching to this!
i got a set on my 1999 f250 4x4 7.3 i have 25k on the at3's and can hardly notice any wear they are warrantied for 55k im willing to bet they will last longer than that.
You actually get the info off the door jam? I am impressed! I have encountered a few people that read inflation info on the tire and inflate the tire to max...then wonder why they are replacing suspension components 6 months later.
+Steven Hardy Do you remember when SUVs had tire problems from ford? It all got blamed on firestone tires that needed 44psi, ford recomended 32psi. Never use the door sticker for tire psi, always use the tire psi specs.
+Steven Hardy That is correct people should use the door jamb sticker. The pressure on the sidewall of the tire is the maximum pressure that can safely be in the tire. A lot of people are misinformed on this very subject.
You have to use the pressure on the door jam because it's the proper inflation for the weight of the vehicle over inflated tires cause all kinds of problems from premature tire wear to lack of traction and sliding hydroplaning and things like that
So I take it these beads go in the opposite direction of the out of balance and causes the tire to be balanced? How can this be? I bet Tim can explain it for me,right?
When you mount the tires on the truck do you use a Torque Wrench to finish the job or do you just ram 'em on with the impact wrench and hope you don't warp the rotors?
+Central Iowa Farmer I'm kind of scared to that too...i'll stick with my bubble balancer...it suffices. I'm old school w/ even amounts of lead on opposite sides of the rim.
+Central Iowa Farmer they save tires not ruin them. They last a long long time I have used this in steering tires for years and have gotten 100k+ out of them
+toddster772008 I use them in my motorcycle tires. Great stuff but you have to be carfeul not to get and lube in the tire that will cause them to clump up. They ones I use are called Dynabeads and are ceramic not glass.
I used to think the same thing, but after watching them for years I realize it is all in fun. Wes loves to aggravate Tim. The more he gets under his skin, the more he does it. There's nothing to it really. RRrrright Tim?
" right Tim " right Tim". Love Wes and the channel God knows these guys bust their ass, but he can be a jerk to Tim smile as that, and no I am not hypersensitive. He says it's all n good fun but dam I sure would get sick of being talked to like that all day. I am sure it's hard when it's father and son working together all day everyday.....maybe they just play it up for the camera, whatever I guess
+Chuck Polhamus , That would get old after one or two days. I know Wes claims Tim doesnt mind and it is all in good fun but, I would throat punch Wes after the first week of that shit. I like bantering but enough already Tim is a loyal son and hard worker.
+onelonleyfarmer You can argue that Wes picks at Tim more than you like. Everyone has their own comfortable limit but I'll bet those of you that make this claim don't tell your son you love him as much as Wes. Now judge that.....
i worked beside someone and he kept saying right Donald which started to get irritating after a while so i started answering i am also half left thinking it would stop him saying right donald which it didnt but i just kept answering im also half left all the time in response and after about two months he finally got the message!

Christ, you and tim talk to each other just like me and my old man, love it!!!
I have put 25000 miles on a set of Coopers on my 2500HD Duramax. Nice ride good snow traction and ice traction is great

Word of advice, when those glass beads are out of the bag and hit the shop floor they go everywhere and you will be finding them for months.
Love to have seen Tim pull out and smoke them down write to start with.

we just put a set of AT3 on my dads f150 this year. We like them.
Thoses are really good tires I run them on all my duallys.
I have Cooper A/T3's on my truck and love them.
gotta love Sasquatch rantings

nice video and nice tires!!
Nice TIRES
I'm going to guess that Wes is feeling better today, after having the crud the other day.
job well done.
i got a set on my 1999 f250 4x4 7.3 i have 25k on the at3's and can hardly notice any wear they are warrantied for 55k im willing to bet they will last longer than that.

+Steven Hardy That is correct people should use the door jamb sticker. The pressure on the sidewall of the tire is the maximum pressure that can safely be in the tire. A lot of people are misinformed on this very subject.
+Steven Hardy I think checking both the door and the tire specs would be a good procedure.

Don't forget to air up the spare.
So the balancing beads are like equal that we use in big truck tires.
I have at3s on my ranger and they are great
When you mount the tires on the truck do you use a Torque Wrench to finish the job or do you just ram 'em on with the impact wrench and hope you don't warp the rotors?
Is it just me, or do those wheels look small on the truck?
nice video
I run 45 in the back and 60 in the front. Unloaded.
Balancing beads never heard of this, where do the beads grip to? how do they know where to go? Would think they just flop around for ever...
+Bill Long www.tundraheadquarters.com/blog/bead-balancing-tires/
but sack-- what holds Ricky Mountain oysters?
Doesn't that air reel work just fine upside down though?
Pretty sure those are ceramic not glass I have 8oz in my 35s look just like the ones you are using.
1st i have heard of the balance grap
little spots to fill in...odd
POOR TIM ! that's work place violence.your lucky he didn't hit cha with that bag a nuts.
which online store did you get these tires at?
Where do you get your tires from?
Tire balancing beads, never heard of this. Has anyone ever tried this system with positive outcome.

+crabhab you could try to punch me lol but I am pretty sure Tim wild knock you flat
+onelonleyfarmer You are smart when it comes to the farm buddy, but I think u missed the point
+Chuck Polhamus oh don't get your panties in a not it's all for fun and Tim does the same to me just not on camera for some reason sometimes he does.
+onelonleyfarmer You can argue that Wes picks at Tim more than you like. Everyone has their own comfortable limit but I'll bet those of you that make this claim don't tell your son you love him as much as Wes. Now judge that.....
What happen if you don't weight your tires properly?
dakota they wear out faster and they don’t wear evenly
Thats interesting never seen that bf !!
i worked beside someone and he kept saying right Donald which started to get irritating after a while so i started answering i am also half left thinking it would stop him saying right donald which it didnt but i just kept answering im also half left all the time in response and after about two months he finally got the message!
Where did the tires come from? ie Tirerack.com
+Keith Brettell tirerack doesn't sell cooper tires.. probably discounttiredirect
sounds like a load of .........
thos balanser luck like kokaine.......
They look nothing like cocane... they look more like giant morphine beads
You have obviously never seen Cocaine if you think that
