Dude stop the click bait
Oh course the tires are No Longer available...
How much did they CO$T?
those look alot like the THUNDERER TRAC GRIP MT tires i have been running for years. you should love the way those work.
I recognize that voice! Good to see videos from you again sir! You helped me make semi decent stick and flux mig welds.
Glad to see I'm not the only one that does there own tires. When its 30 miles to the tire shop and half a day wait because u brought your own tires easy to do on u own. U find to use vegetable oil on tire bead is best.
We have to do our own tires at work and I been using pb blaster and it's not very good I'm trying the vegetable oil thank you
You got a good sense of humor and a good attitude watched your videos a couple of years ago and then I thought you stopped found you again and subscribed good To see your videos again
I love my Harbor Freight tire changer. I have had tough tires that were old and worn out. I have done easy tires that were 10 ply that had been out in the sun and nice and warm and soft. It all depends. But yeah, sometimes it's easier to just go to town and let the tire shop handle it. Nice job! Awesome tires! I'm looking forward to more on this build.
I love mine as well. Can swap a tire on about 15 mi utes usually. I bolted mine to the drawbar of my tractor when I use it.
Mines the best investment I've ever made.
Those old "P" series are one step above "baloney-skins" for off-road or truck tires. Good job on the replacement.
I haven't used one of those manual tire machines in years! With all the work I think I would have just paid a shop from the beginning! Nice job.
I do them by hand
Yep I'm a mechanic and I won't even mount and balance my own tires. After a few times of struggling you find in life there are a few jobs out there that are not worth time or pain involved to diy.
I dont fuck with tires i get so mad doing them lmao
Wise words all around
amen
The fisheye lens makes this process look 10x more dangerous lol
You should park farther away from the shop next time. Carrying tires for long distance is fun!
And excellent exercise!
4 trips too
My least favorite thing to do is swap tires.......NOTHING is as frustrating when you don't have the fancy motorized/hydraulic/garage-quality tire changers, and you try to muscle it. It's hard not to damage the beads/seating surface on tires without a proper machine to get it onto the rim (the new tires). SMART move to have them done at a tire shop.
I have changed a incalculable amount of tires from 195s on 14 inch wheels to 38s on 15 in wheels and everything in-between all by hand and it's not that hard at all... Breaking the bead is the only hard part and you can do it with a board and a car, a tractor boom, the harbor freight thing like this guy is using and many more ways.
@@hastyhillfarmand4x480 is changing tires how you came to have 9 fingers?? Lol sorry had to
It's all skills bub I'm a road tech and the only power tool I use is an impact but I do semi trucks so I have to buy law.
So glad I got a snap on tire machine and balancer from my buddy who works for the industrial division. He had to clear out a trade school that went belly up before it opened. Had em at my shop and used em for 5yrs before his boss remembered and asked for 3500🤣. Still a steal, I've probably paid off like 6-800$ just on my own stuff.
@@leonallen9833 lol no, my pinky got cut off in a hydraulic hog skinner door, I work at a slaughter house
I made my own tire bar and it made the old harbor freight Manuel tire changer so much easier. It was based on a video I saw from sixtyfiveford (shout out) and improved the design. It heavy, long and strong. It has plastic rim guards and wheel bearings off a tractor lawnmower that roll the bead onto the rim. Plus I always use tire mounting compound. Before it the tire changer was useless.
I had the same tires on a 92 Toyota. Did GREAT in snow and sand. Very loud on the highway.
I can't wait to see those tires in action. I want to know how my km3's compair. Great vid. Keep it up.
I'll red kneck alot of stuff but sometimes just do it right. Have a shop do it, they have the equipment. Kudos for diong your best.
Hello Chucky, With all the vehicles and tires you have, you need to invest in a real tire changer. I bought a skid steer tire off Amazon two years ago. I took it to my tire change shop, and it took two guys to put the new tire on. I double-checked the tire size; it was the same size that came off my wheel. It was at least 1/2 in. smaller. I will not buy tires off the internet again. Love the videos. Keep up the good work, and God bless and stay safe and be kind.
Finally I missed watching Stretches videos!!!😀😀🤗🤗😇😇
you're such a positive guy I love it!
I just bought a set of these, had great reviews on them. I hope they work out well and roll many miles.
I would like 2 know how they do
I had mine on a 95 f150 and had great luck with them. Amazing traction and they weren't that loud on the highway. Towed trailers every day with no issue. Really really slick on wet pavement tho.
@@daltonphillips6778 my experiences with mud tires is always that theu dont do well on wet pavement. Im sure some of the top tier brands do alright on wet pavement, but most of my mud tires were noticably worse on wet pavement vs regular tires
@@AverageCitizen333 im used to the mud tire slick on pavement lol but they were worse than usual. Performed amazing in the snow tho
I had these in a 285/75r16 on my 95 srw 4x4 7.3 f350. My truck doesn't leave the driveway without a trailer and I got about 20k miles out of them. Probably can get more if you keep up on rotation and have a perfect alignment. Great in snow and mud. Tokyo drift car on wet pavement
I have a set of 31x10.50-15 on my isuzu and I love them and have lasted for a while
Buy a high lift jack. The will break the bead easy buy using your bumper of your truck. Use hammer to pound jacks a bottom plate under rim as you jack it up. Easiest way to do it
Make a slide on, adjustable rim width jig' for the 'tractor fork' that would press down on both sides of tire at the same time👍, plus you could cut a slice in the old tire to let any extra fighting air out! or weld a set of hard steel home made 'needle nose cutters' on a pair of decent bolt cutters' to just cut the bead in half! just a thought to maybe help?!💪🇺🇸
I bought Nexen M X T tires for my Ford f250 Xlt 4x4 E Rated an I gotta say they have them Advertised for rock climbing an thur mud water an sand so since I seen them on the trucks for motor cross they why I got them plus I like the water sizes so it doesn't float an in the snow no problem but I looked at other tires too but I have free flat repair an lifetime rotation plus road hazzard for no extra cost ...good job nice tires ...
I'm dying laughing at all of the ways you were trying to break the bead! LOL! Man, I wish I was there! LOL! That was a journey and a half! hahahahaha! I use the same Harbor Freight changer, but my wheels weren't that old - so it went a lot easier. Plus I have a bead-holder, so the tire slips below the bead, allowing the tires to go off and on easier. But man, all that you were throwing at it would have been EPIC just to kick back and try! LOL! Driving over it with a tractor! Using a press! Man, you were having too much fun! hahahahaha!
Glad to see you are making videos!
The bar on the Harbor Freight mounting tool sucks, OK for dismounting but useless for mounting. Sixtyfiveford did a great video on making a good mounting bar. I did so, and I love it. If you have the HF mounting tool, go ahead and get their bead breaker, then modify it (lengthen base and adjust angle of upright using stronger braces) to work better - more like the ones we used 50 years ago. I have BeadBuster XB-550 which works great IF you can get it started - you can’t on offroad tires that have raised rubber against the rim.
Looks like you are going to have massive grip on that vehicle
I use harbor freight tire changer and have ran into this problem before but most the time there easy until you get into bigger and heavy duty truck tires
Those tire look good. I like the tread design. Curious to hear how they perform. Such as how well do they clean out in mud? How loud are they on pavement? How well do they ride on pavement?
They pull super hard through mud , they are pretty loud on pavement, and they ride really smooth on the road and last a lonng time I've had mine for 3yrs and have put 30k miles on them and they are still around 45% tread
I like them. I've had them on my defender for years. They grip well and clear nicely. I use them mostly on clay. Noisy on the road but that's what you get with knobblies.
That backhoe I saw in background works good to pop bead
Glad to hear from you again
Kinda funny, it took me 45min to 1hr to change four BFG's on my rig using a high lift jack and some pry bars. It was a warm day and the rubber was warm when I did the swap, and by the looks of it weather there at the time looks chilly. I have found some brands of tires are real simple to mount by hand or with a tire machine.
Okay so I work at a tire shop and from my person experience what we call “eBay tires” so cheap mud tires is they are stupid heavy so way heavier then any main brand(cooper nitto toyo bfg MickeyThompson etc) they wear down faster then name brands, they wear bad and end up cupping which means the individual knobs on the tire wear unevenly causing high and low spots throughout the tire, and finally balancing… they do not balance out well at all. They call for a lot of weight in the perfect spot to 0 out. The only good thing about them is they are cheap😂
We use those federals in coal mine and thy do really well. Just heaps of noise when their half worn.
They are Federals. They are a well respected budget brand primarily for the Oceania region. They are made in Taiwan like many other tyres. I have personally taken these tyres to the absolute limits in remote outback Australia traveling for weeks at a time through the worst road conditions imaginable. Never had a puncture. They can wear unevenly if they are not rotated regularly. Also I suggest if you want to fit large tyres - you need a bead blaster - not having the correct tools was 99% of your problem.
Hi! How do you like these tires in mud? I have Cooper STT PROs now so I'm curious...
Wd40 instead of water and dish soap..work in a clockwise formation push on every hr on the tire about 3rd time around should pop the bead and wd40 presoak I've been in the tire repair about 7 years I have those same tires on my cavalier love the videos brother
Muddies on a cavalier?? That’s awesome!
I feel scammed.
I assume you haven't used a tire changer before. The end of the red bar is designed to run around the rim and Easily install the tire.
thos tires r awesome iam fixn to get more they r great for slingn mud or an very grippy a great for crawln to
when i cant break the bead by driving on it, i put a large board on the tire up to the bead then drive up on it slowly.
Scammed once by this episode title. One and done.
Alil tip I use a jack the come with the Hondas I put the tire up my rear bumper of my flat bed use the jack an my impact always breaks the bead
Same tire I run on my tahoe got 30k miles out of them so far and still have around 45% or so tread
Should have just used a wood plank and driven up it to break bead. Works well for me.
I had them on my 97 k1500 I put that truck through hell never got stuck solid tires rotate a lot tho 😂
Fell like this is an old video for sure think I remember watching it years ago lol
You where honest and excepted the agony of defeat, pay the man and move forward with the program.
I had those couragias on my old truck. They hold up good and good lord do they dig
I really wanted a set of those tires, but finding them in 265/70R17 is not easy. And the prices people want are not reasonable with the other choices to buy.
You don't know when to quit. Pure savage!
If he does not quit the scammed theme I will find something else to watch. He has interesting content doesn’t need the click bait.
Joker seems to get scammed every day.
He's had a few extremes lately
Yeah getter nag tired of the scam deal
And he doesnt even mention the "scam" in his video. I too did not care for the clickbait title
I think He's asking us the question.. was I scammed?
What was your old channel I remember your voice and the bumpers you built
I never tried vice grips lol
They torqued them to maximum uga dugas
How they holding up? they look pretty damn good
it's been a while since I have seen you post videos.
That tire changer I like it how much did it cost
Most tire shops charge like $10 per wheel for that 🤣 much rather spend $40 then do all that work
1/2" sidewall 😂🤣
Drill about 4 holes, evenly spaced in the rim and fill with Styrofoam. I run all my off-road tires with Styrofoam filling.
LMAO! I'm dying!!! hahahaha
They make an adapter for the tire changer that makes all the difference.
Really I worked for a tire company if you buy cheap tires that is exactly what you get if all can afford do it I don't recommend them at all for maybe 20 dollars get a better tire I prefer coopers tires they hold well from bottom line to top tier if want off road tire coppers at3 are 55 thousand mile if you rotate them every 8000 miles
I was thinking about putting them on my mercury mountaineer
It would’ve been easier if you use the HarborFree tire breaker correctly!
I know. I've got the same one. He had a setup going on there! LOL! I was dying laughing because he was really being an engineer trying to get that tire off. All he had to do was press down on one side to the bead slipped under the ridge of the wheel. Pop the bar in there and SWEEP it all the way around, as long as the tire didn't slip as he went around. But you gotta admit, it was fun to watch. I was like, "...what's all those contraptions around the tire? C-Clamps?" hahahahaha! Some videos just HAVE TO BE MADE! This was one of em! LOL! I am literally cracking up typing this because I've never seen that much work to get a tire off. That is worth a sub, a like, and all that! LOL! He had me DYING!
How wide is that rim
Heck I thought you stopped making videos until I ran across this vid
Be careful with those federals. They are known for belt separations. Years ago they were the go to "dealership offroad package" tire.
Ive been using federal tires for a couple of years now. Never had any problems with mine. I think they likely corrected the problem in order to stay relevant as an option.
@@AverageCitizen333 Good to hear. The sidewall pattern looks slightly different from the older ones so I hope that is the case.
@@kennethmc2601 i hope so too
Is this Chucky the welder in Texas?
U gonna make a vid of off-roading ?
I can change these tires quicker by hand with a tire hammer and two tire irons. haha. It still baffles me on how different methods depending on capabilities of people, but non the less, cheap mud tires may not last as long, they do serve a purpose. Use plenty of soup there bud.
Looks good
are you making new videos or are these re uploaded
You mean the Pathfinder isn't just an ornament???
After use the hole tool box
Federals are great budget tires I've had over 30 sets
Rule of Thumb if your your rod needs a new engine don’t poot new tires on it
Nice tyres though👍👍👍
Use your front tire next time and start in the middle and circle it.
Good tire but loud on the road
I don't get it. What does the title have to do with the video?
Just put those on my C30 dually
So exactly what is the hidden secret?
Put a little air in it not much that 5 pounds it will break right down
You got to learn to choose your battles.
Federal make damn nice tires
Wouldn't recommend wrapping my legs around an old tire still holding pressure.
These are not actually cheap Amazon tires. Federal is an Australian tire company. I have been running these tires for over 10 years now and are still one of my most favorite mud tires I've owned. We do a lot of rocks and mud here where we wheel and these things hold up great.
They are Taiwanese made. Have a set for my D21 Terrano. (Pathfinder) I bought them cos they not Chinese..... lol its complicated but Taiwan is not China.
Its called lubrication. I am 61 and half crippled. 2 days ago. I had to teach a youngin how to do tires. I broke down 8 very old tires. And mounted 4. In 2 hours. With a hazard freight buster just like that. Without all the gadgets.
There is no substitute for proper equipment
if you have space, & can afford one, a power tire machine is nice to have when you run a bunch of different rigs...it takes time, but it will pay for itself. and when you have one, you can make friends do their own if they ask you to do it.... then you can point & make fun of them being idiots with it, maybe videos too.
Those tires do look beefy
you have tractors. lay the old tire/wheel on the ground and drive over it with the front wheel of a tractor and pop the bead loose.
Did you not watch him try that?
@@johndough9187 did you not see that he did not drive over the tire. he tried to use fork lift tines. not the same thing. wrong you are.
@@NebukedNezzer Look again @ 4:10. Admittedly it was the rear tractor wheel, but that's where the weight is. I'll accept your apology anytime.
@@johndough9187 no apology needed. I said Front wheel and it was not front wheel. stop being a Karen.
@@NebukedNezzer Why would the front wheel, which has little weight on it, work better than the rear, which has ten times as much? As long as the edge of the tractor tire is up close to the bead on the truck tire, it doesn't know which end of the tractor it's attached to. And I actually wasn't wrong in the first place; I simply asked a question.
Another stupid clickbait title.
Put the portable tire changer and vice grips away. All you need is 2 tire changing bars a tire mallet/hammer and a can of wd40. Much faster and lesd frustrating. If you watch a few videos for semi tires you do it the exact same way for ever tire. Skidder, semi, quad, zeroturn, tractors. 👌🧐
For whatever reason 11r22.5 is way easier than little light truck tires. I could swap a semi tire in like 3 minutes with tire bars small tires forget it
Changing tires by hand is easy as shit.
I guess I missed the hidden secret
I feel scammed by the clickbait title!
These tire are currently unavailable
Solution torch
I guess the secret is still hidden. I got scammed. Nobody told me.
