Tire tests are a great idea and keeping everything consistent (truck, inserts, weather conditions, terrain, etc) makes the comparisons more relateable. I would also like to see more videos of you in the shop wrenching on your trucks and doing mods. Also, at the start of your drive videos (like this one) maybe give us a body off look so, we can check out your rig and layout more thoroughly 👍

Nice test mule. 😎 I love the idea of bracketed tire tests. Maybe monthly? Love my Tusks/Squidserts on my 5.5 pound rig. They hook up really well on the central Texas rocks.

You should do a bracket style tire test. Head to head, winner faces the winner of the next head to head. The hard part is foams, do you run all the same or optimize for each tire?

Not to support knock off copies... but I got a set of Jconcepts Ruptures off Ali Express. Side by side to the actual Jconcept version they looked absolutely identical. However the inner bead webbing was different (much more details and design on the actual Jconcepts tire). But out on the rocks the fake tire was total garbage. Almost zero traction. Showing the compound makes a huge difference over tread design. Could be interesting tests to match knockoffs with real deals and establish compound differences over tread design. Just an idea. Keep up the great work!

Yep, JConcepts tires, whether for crawlers, bashing or racing, require a proper break in to get the most from them. Not sure if it is the molding process or composition but they all struggle when new.

That’s an awesome rig you built. I like the idea of the head to head testing. It’ll be interesting to see if the results are most affected by tire compound vs tread pattern, and how the same tires respond in the various weather and rock conditions. Are you planning to break the tires in a bit before testing, or just go for it straight out of the package?
