Hey everybody happy Sunday to you? Uh, real quick add-on kind of bonus Video: uh tagging along with that bank's rear differential cover video I did on my Silverado uh. you guys were asking a lot about the tires on the truck because they are kind of worn out and a little bit bald. and you are right. like check this out right here.

That one's as well. like 130 second uh, two with a nail in it and then this one over here. zero with secondary rubber. I'm a horrible person.

Yes, it needs an alignment I haven't done that yet. one more zero secondary rubber and 132nd maybe two. something like that. but I have these all right here.

I Was waiting for these to show up because I'm kind of specific on the tires that I like on this truck and they've been ordered for a while I have them now. Uh, many, many more. 30 seconds than zero. One and two.

these are uh, what were these things Grapplers Highway Terrains They're good tires I think they're 10 ply. They're rated for the truck. Yeah, 10 play. Yep, so these are going on uh sometime this week.

Uh, it's always a time thing you guys know that. See you guys later. Um hope that clears things up. Have a great day.

    Dude, you gotta run less pressure in your rears. You probably have a portable compressor in the truck anyway, you can pump them up when you need to. Those are ten ply for a 1ton no doubt, door probably says to run 80 to 85 ps,.I would run between 5 to 10 pounds less than you have, especially if you're not hauling loads around all the time.

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sideslip says:

    You look to be running your rears over inflated.

    Particular about the tires on his truck…….driving on 0/32 tires

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Noack73 says:

    I dont think i ever seen or heard Ray say hes perfect or even close, hes the most humble guy ever … So!
    Everybody who commented on Rays tires, will now present a video on their own channel, of their own tires on their own cars.
    If not, you can go ahead and STFU! Damn keyboard judges!
    Sry Ray, makes me so mad when people think they have the right to point fingers, when they dont know anything about the situation, instead of minding their own.

    That would be your driving licence done for in the UK.
    Tyres here must have minimum 1.6mm tread across the central 3 quarters.
    3 points on the driving licence per defective tyre and 12 points equals a driving disqualification!

    Nice new tires.
    I like good meaty tires on my truck so if the snow gets bad or I decide to go off road I’m good to go.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars vern owen says:

    Ray, I drove 40,000 miles on a cheap set of tires for 2 years, because it took that long after covid to get the ones I wanted. Took a lot of flak for it, but when you have to run 6, 10 ply tires both on and off road, you know what you want and what will give you the best bang for your buck, as well as performance. Never explain yourself to those who are not walking in your shoes!

    Don’t you have the right to make a

    You're a good man Ray! Providing answers to your caring fans.

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Wes Gregg says:

    Seems like most people have never heard of Nitto. I used to run their… 555? (was 20+ years ago, I might have the number incorrect) drag radials in 275/50-15 size on the back of my Buick, and they always performed wonderfully. Well, there was that one time I was driving home and it started snowing, LOL – but I couldn't blame the hijinks that ensued on the tires .

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pekka Saukkonen says:

    old saying in Finland (suutarin lapsilla ei ole kenkiä)so in english shomakers childs don´t have shoes seems to be true but keep on giong you are the best mechanic i have seen in youtube

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars OverKillPlusOne says:

    I run those on my SRW Cummins tow pig, different size though. Not so great in the winter even though they’re M+S, but they’re not awful — MT…where it’s not uncommon for me to have to bull dog through a foot or two on the main road until I get towards town, they don’t plow if school isn’t running…and they don’t plow by 0600 when I have to leave to drive the bus lol…usually I put on a set of aggressive, lighter duty, more off road tires for winter when I don’t normally haul my 5th wheel, last set were Toyo open country.

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars KeenCrafting says:

    No Comforsers? 😔

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brian Allen says:

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bigsquatch Sasfoot says:

    Those tyres are balder than me 😂

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars buffy stclair says:

    Retired mechanic but still no excuse other than I was specific on tires I wanted for my Silverado LTZ. Even tho my truck is 4×4 I wasn’t wanting anything all terrain or luggy. I don’t drive this truck off road or winter, I drive it as a luxury vehicle. I opted for Toyo H/T ll , waited over 8 months during Covid for them . Your Nittos look nice and meaty , not luggy so should be a nice quiet ride

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim Allen says:

    The wife unit needs tires did you look at them when she did the front brakes?

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim Allen says:

    What about the wife units mobile,its needs tires too. Shes driving you little ones around.

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kerry Leckey says:

    Great video 👍 The down side of. being a YouTuber sharp eye's see everything including bald tire's 😉

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gary Inman says:

    I noticed the tires but knew in my mind you hat that under control.

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TheLonesomeToad says:

    Worn in the center. Over-inflated.

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars The Underground Lair of the Squankum says:

    But they're new tires, and that's not a no-name brand at all. Yay tires!

    Many many more than 1,2,and zero🤣🤣🤣🤣

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Christine Roney says:

    Nitto is a great brand, with car and truck tires. I sell a lot of the Ridge Grapplers. But, My heart is Falken Tires. Any Falken tire. I just love them.

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matt Farah's Million Mile Lexus says:

    It's going to ride like a whole new truck. Ain't nothing like a set of new shoes.

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tossed Salad says:

    I would be embarrassed as a Mechanic to show how Bad those Tires are ?

    That's Dangerous and NO Mechanic would pass it on a mechanical inspection.

    I would delete this video as it's ONLY a Liability issue for you and your family. Make a Video with New Tires on it and what to Do as advice with New Tires to make them Last.

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim says:

    The way things work, right? The carpenter always needs work on his own home. The mechanic needs work on their own machines. 🙂 Side effect of doing it all day for everyone else, you don't want to do your own.

  51. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Calvin Evans says:

    Nice, new shoes for the tow rig.

  52. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars stephane crep says:

    Now your ready to run into the snow in the winter! 😆😂 ,, just kidding , have a good day!

  53. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Simon Ilett says:

    Now Ray needs to get the old tyre machine out front of the shop working again, and put less air in those rear tyres next time, they've been running over inflated🤣👍

  54. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Schaaf says:

    Drive ‘em

  55. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars tom85lhu says:

    Great videos as always. At least you don't have to worry about the snow and ice like I do on Michigan. Those would be like riding on a slip and slide. Can't wait to see the Silverado with its new shies on.

    Those are almost to the point of the air showing through. Like driving on slicks.

  60. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Todd Timms says:

    Nice tires Ray. I need to replace mine too.

  61. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mario Solano says:

    Lol….upgrading previous tires to race track slicks….lol

    Burnouts!!!

  62. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rob says:

    Sorry voor speaking too soon. I should have known you would have seen it yourself. These ar certainly very good an neat tires! Spelled it correctly this time. 😄

  63. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jasonpeace91 says:

    I change my own tyres…

    I'm also known for "secondary rubber"

    got no one to blame but myself good news is currently new rubber minus one wheel (as has spare on as discovered rim was cracked when i went to change the tyres)

  64. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Alan Knoll says:

    I bet those tires cost some serious money. At least you got some good tires.

  65. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dante in Chaos, Forever says:

    It's such a shame that the internet viewers almost run you??! because they know best?

  66. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Scott Marshall says:

    Those tyres need to be retired because they're too tired to be re-tyred. Not quite thread-bare, but definitely tread-bare.
    The old ones look dreadful, but the new ones look "tread-full"! 🤣

  67. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars gerald harkness says:

    good job you are replacing those tyres ray.if you got pulled over,you will get a hefty fine for unsafe tyres,,,naughty ray!

  68. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Wayne Jeffrey says:

    Technically they’re on the vehicle now so it’s all good! 😂

  71. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars thomas m. tordel jr. says:

  72. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars The Real MrCods 🗸 says:

    Nitto suck 🤬

  73. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joseph Steffen says:

    10 ply…..load range E…..yeah baby

  74. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars t md says:

    How stupid are tyres. typical tyre is 185/55R16. This means 185mm tread width, 55% side wall to width and to fit a 16 inch rim. so that is mm,% and inches all on the same item. Why not make them one dimension standard instead of 3 different ones?

  75. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Anthony Bellard says:

    Never put max pressure in tire unless you're loaded,I hot shot for long time, they will ware in the middle, I run 55 to 60 in rear even less sometimes, if you load heavily then use max pressure, I have worn out many tires in the middle,

  76. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ilberc Gross says:

    Those rear tires look like they have been over inflated for a long time.

  77. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Logan Johnson says:

    Ray your just the poster kid for the old saying the mechanics car is the last one fixed .And as far as those tires go Grandpa said you don't need tread on your tires if it ain't raining. .If the cords ain't showing the tire ain't blowing .

  78. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BADMONKEY says:

    wearing out in the middle like that is over inflation

  79. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars DoBe says:

    A bit late to the comment thread today & I've asked before (but never got a response)…

    Ray, when you 1st moved into your new shop you showed the new control arms & other parts for your Silverado, did you ever install them? I don't remember ever seeing the video.

    RIGHT ON RAY.
    NITO TIRES ROCK. worth every penny.

  83. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Andrew Hansen says:

    Looks like all the wear on the rear tires was in the center. Over inflated? Something to remember with the new skins.

  84. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars joe laurieri says:

  92. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars justforkiks29 says:

    Rear tires look to be over inflated from the tire wear pattern.

  93. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars crazystratcat says:

    Ray, if that’s what you like i get it, but I’m here to tell you that the wild peak ats are the way to go on a one ton truck.. they barley wear out.. even with trucks that have a goose neck on them all the time..

  94. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jay Kellett says:

    I noticed the tires, and said to myself….."I bet new tires are soon to be in Ray's future." Just didn't realize it would be this soon. Good call on the tires, and timely.

  95. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Loud Elvis says:

    I'm a fan of the Nitro Hood Grappler myself

  96. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jacob Emerson says:

    What tire size do you run? I just bought a Silverado dually myself and it's running 235/85/R16s but I noticed the rears touch at the bottom and there's a rub mark all the way around. Apparently they've been that way for a while though because it's about due for a set, but it makes me uneasy and I definitely don't want any blowouts, so I'm looking into spacers for between the wheels, or maybe checking into some different wheels before I buy tires.

  97. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim Pickett says:

    I like tires that are made out of Rubber too Ray, so you have you be picky. LOL

  98. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars chris challacombe says:

    They looked a little dirty…perhaps some BRAKE CLEAN would have helped! LOL!!
