This narrator has been a voice I've heard since I was a kid. One of the few voices I would recognize if I heard in real life

My God these machines are a bloody marvel. How does one even begin to design such task specific machinery.

I remember when I was little I always watched how it's made with my grandfather at night, usually when I stayed over for a day. We really watched them at any time but one of my most vivid memories with him was one night that I was staying over and just after we finished making some late night sandwiches (which we always did at night when I stayed over) we started watching how it's made. He always explained to me how the things that were shown in the show worked in his own words, dumbing it down for me and if they had other uses as well. He was very bright and his story is amazing, going from a little kid who didn't even know how to read, to a man who knew how to fix and make anything, and I mean anything. He passed away a while ago, but every time I watch how it's made it reminds me of him, as silly as it may sound. It always brings back good memories.

The people who invent all these automated machines are pure geniuses. If the world was full of people like me we'd still be hunter gatherers pounding rocks together.

The technical knowledge and ingenuity needed to make some of our everyday items is nothing short of incredible. I'm in awe.

People may call your “how it’s made” videos random and say that you’re running out of ideas, but I genuinely think that it’s amazing the types of videos you guys post. Who else is going to make a video showing how to make an espresso machine, or a playground spring rider?The obscurity of it is just endlessly interesting.

When I was a kid I got a pair of matching books. They were black. Titled "The way things work". Then I had an encyclopaedia set of similar books.Then I was well into electrical engineering and I built a one tube regenerative shortwave radio receiver when I was 8 - from just a schematic. I mowed lawns to earn the dollars and dad and grampa drove me around to flea markets all over a three state area looking for the old vintage parts and components I needed. Today I own an engineer consulting firm and repair medical equipment and industrial motion controls / automation. "How It's Made" has surely crafted many a young mind into engineers. If only I had this wonderful show in my childhood.

Tires are amazing. It’s crazy how much abuse they take on a daily basis and still perform nicely each and every day.. you can burn them up at a race track in a day, or drive across the country and if all goes well, not get a flat 😅

That's a pretty awesome video. Thanks Science Channel. I love the "how it's made" series! :)

Thanks, such progress in just over100 years, the engineers who made the machines are amazing.

Not only am I impressed by all the machinery and work going into a tire. But I am also impressed by the use of proper terminology! I like that the narrator describes the bead as locking the tire onto the wheel rim. A lot of people just call them rims, or wheels. Where that specific part mounts is known as the wheels rims. The wheel, being the whole metal structure that bolts to a car, and the rim bein the verrryyyy edge where the tire sits on.

My brother and I would watch this every time it came on back in the day. Always fascinating learning about how things were made.

That's amazing and what's more amazing is the machinery that makes other machinery and so on and so on ..etc etc etc

Out of all the how it’s made videos, this one is one of my favorites as well as the one for making aluminum bats

"It's time for the rubber to hit the road." Hah! Did ya get it? 🤣 🤣 🤣

The bladders that push the tire into the mold sometimes rupture with a loud explosion. When a bladder in the Large Rear Farm portion of the factory would explode the whole factory would feel and hear it.

One reason why i cant work in a factory: My brain would definitely encourage me to touch those rolling gears

one of the best episodes. these machines are amazing

I've been working in industrial maintenance for over 15 years, but nothing nearly as complicated as these machines. I can't imagine working on the complex machines in this video.

I'm mostly amazed of the engineering of the machines that builds the actual tire, fuck me that must take a lot of testing! Anyway, love these videos!

Absolutely amazing. Suddenly paying $500 for my set of tires seems reasonable lol

The red stripe makes it go faster.

Id like to see a video of how all these machines are made 😅 just wondering the engineering behind them

Love the smell of new tires!

Many more steps in this process than I had previously thort.

I worked at a tire plant for about a year. Was really interesting to work with the machines... smelly though.

My Dad works in a tire factory (been there for ever, since I was born anyway I'm 26 now). Started out as a production worker, moved on to maintenance, now runs the weight & scales inspection dept! This was such a great video to watch! Also as a machinist by trade this was very eye opening. Thanks to all that keep the wheels turning!

One of the best inventions ever

I loved this show as a kid! Still do 22 years later

This might be the best episode of "How It's Made" yet!

impressive mechanism ❤️

Can we just take a moment to realize how sophisticated this technology to make such things is?

Soothing and enjoyable voice over. How It’s Made voice Guy is great

fun fact, the first two digits of the tire's DOT number is the plant it was manufactured at. for Continental Tires, the letters CP on these tires stand for their Korbach plant in Hesse, Germany. it is also where many tires for Continental's US Subsidiary brand General Tire are manufactured.

I’ve been lucky enough to have toured the Michelin factory in n.c. Definitely a cool experience

Forget the tire- Im in awe of the machinery that builds it

Daaaaaamn I never imagined it was this complex! Thanks for the vid!

Fantastic process.

All that equipment, and only one tire, of that type, at a time! No wonder they're so expensive!

Amazing invention ! Thank you for video !

Man this is a lot of work for a mosquito house

1) the rubber industry is way more advanced than we know 2) tire making is a feat of engineering

I love This show iv watched how it’s made sense it was made along with mythbusters y’all have shaped my childhood thank y’all

Amazing how engineers come up with all this machinery.

Thank you for uploading this video. At least I now know what my late dad did at work.

Phenomenal engineering 👌

I love these shows.

It’s more impressive the people who make and design these machines pure genius

Watching this was fascinating AH. Wow. Thank you.

When steel and oil prices go up, so do your price for tires ;)

Awesome video! Thank you!

Incredible machines ! 🦾🦾

Machines made in Akron, Ohio. I worked there for a few years. Also some French designed machines to cut the rubberized fabric on a bias. Have worked on these around the world. Dirty, smelly, but necessary equipment.

Great work Thank you

I work for a company that does repairs at a General tire plant in Southern Illinois I wish it was this clean though lol that carbon black ain't no joke come out of there looking like Alice Cooper

This has to be one of the coolest processes I’ve seen on this show

Excellent explanation

Continental!! I upgraded to German engineered continental tires and have been gripping the road GREAT now! Very happy!!

I worked at the Uniroyal tire factory in Detroit in 1970.

Million thanks.....

Would love to see "How it's made: babies" since at age 35 I still don't know.

LOVE "How It's Made!"

When I was a kid in the '70s my mother worked at Aakron Standard Mold which made the molds for the final steps. So this interests me.

"hot steamy bladders"

I spent a 35-year career with the Firestone and Bridgestone tire companies. I worked in the headquarters office, but I always loved to visit the tire plants.

Fascinating

I currently work in a tire factory and the actual building process is done by hand. The machine feeds the material but we make the cuts and splices ourselves

I bet it's fun to be a producer on this show. "Hello Continental? This is How It's Made. Can we come see how tires are made?"

0:41 "You still got the stick in there!"

It is interesting to see all the technology involved - which makes me wonder what the process was like back in say the 40s and 50s

Tyres are some of the most impressive items in my opinion, second only to the internal combustion motor. Tyres have to withstand a BUNCH of stress on a day-to-day basis, needing to be able to hold up a multi tonne vehicle whist also being able to handle traveling at a max of 100< mph while support all that weight. And that's not even mentioning torque from the engine or potholes.

They should do a new television show called how it’s serviced For services rendered

Wonderful with some forward movement for a change

good work

Damn they didn't even bother to remove the plastic bag before putting the ingredients into the blender hahaha

Marvelous!

How does this only have 400k views? I love knowing how all the things we depend on are created.

I always wondered how they did this.

This video makes tire value rise 1000 percent to me ☺️☺️

I would like to see detailed view of the tread mold system, something I find highly intriguing

Wonder what color the tire would be without that carbon black put in, would it be more of a grey? Or splotchy and non uniform?

First they take the dinglebup, and smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then repurposed for later batches. They take the dinglebup and put it through the grumbo. The fleeb is rubbed against it

Pretty damned impressive. I had no idea there was so much complexity in a tire.

this dude never ages

Thank you

So nice Tech.

This machinery costs more then anyone has realized

They are a very good make of tyres

When that tire came out steaming, I can almost smell how it smell through the screen.

Awesome!

The show hits different when you have these exact tires.

Cars + How it's made = a good video

To think tyres used to be made by hand, each step of the way. These machines are putting 100’s if not 1000’s of people out of work. I used to work at Olympic Tyres at Geebung Queensland Australia 🇦🇺.

Nothing like the smell of a brand new tire.

I never knew tire manufacturing was so complicated!

ah yes the moment we've been waiting for

Those shiny discs that he calls "rollers" that round the edges of the Sidewalls onto the outer Tread layer are called, "Stitchers". Retired longtime mechanic for a well known Truck and Aircraft Tire plant.

Oh, and he did it on both inside and outside of the tire. That's why it shows him grind / rough both sides to give the new vulcanizing rubber a surface to grab as well as it meeting where to hole is then he puts it under pressure and heats it the same way the tire was made in the first place

The process is so complex. Some machinery looks like it's off the iron man set

I used to watch how its made when i was a little kid way back in the early 2000s it was one of my favorite tv shows….now im 27 and i make all kinds of cool things with my hands…its funny how things you do as a kid can or will reflect your future
