The randomizing of the tread pattern is a principle that was also used on the highway system. Expansion joints in the road were once equally spaced giving the tire noise a similar effect we often associate with railroad tracks. It was found that this can have an effect on car drivers which would tend to make them drowsy or even put them to sleep. Nowadays, there are 3 or 4 standard spacings, randomly installed to minimize this problem.

I went from bias-ply to radials in 1977. The difference was astonishing. If I had to drive on those old tires today, I'd be terrified. I can think of times I came close to dying, when I would have been perfectly safe on better tires. For some reason, I still buy the cheapest tires I can find, though. Maybe it's time to re-think that.

Bias ply tires still have their place, though... they're particularly good for trailer tires, as radials just don't hold up. I've had bias ply tires running just fine on a cattle trailer for over 20 years-- only reason I had to replace them was the rubber dried out and the tread layer peeled off, even then I drove the last 20 miles to an auction barn on the exposed strings of the plies LOL:) I wanted another set of biases but the tire shop didn't have any so I had to get some of the "new, improved" Goodyear radial trailer tires. I'd heard that radials were lousy trailer tires but the dealer insisted they were fine, just keep them aired up to 60 PSI when parking the trailer between uses so they didn't develop "flat spots" that weaken the plies. Well, they lasted about four years and blew out hauling a load of calves. Had maybe 600-800 miles on the tires. I went back to biases and no problems. I will ONLY buy bias trailer tires from now on.

With that mix of tire types, my car (1964 Dodge Polara) was almost impossible to control! It scared the daylights out of me to even drive it at 40MPH. Having clearly seen the issues of mixing tire types, I never did that again. So thankful when radials became the norm and bias-ply tires disappeared from passenger cars altogether. The engineering that goes into tires is amazing!

@@rachelblack3816 Yeah mixing biases and radials was a big no-no, particularly radials on the front and biases on the back, IIRC (could have been the other way around, too many years ago to remember exactly). Basically the sidewalls flex different in turns which creates "understeer" or "oversteer" going around curves, or as the weight of the vehicle shifts with slight steering corrections, which amplifies the motion. Radials are good for some things, and not so good for others. For trailers IMHO biases are still FAR superior in longevity and weight-carrying ability, at least for smaller trailers. Later!

Yeah sure... remember those Goodyear tires that were tossing their tread and killing people driving Ford Explorers?? My '92 F-150 came with Goodyear Wranglers from the factory, I was like "wow that's the best set of tires I've EVER seen on a new vehicle!" as all our previous trucks had the sh!ttiest tires Ford could get on them from the factory. Well, the stupid Goodyears must've been made out of old eraser rubber... those things were SLICK BALD at 25,000 miles! I usually keep old tires to use on farm trailers and implements where tread doesn't matter, but these were SO slick that I couldn't even use them for that! GARBAGE! Best tires I've ever run were the Continental Conti-tracks. Ran those on my pickup for years, until I couldn't get them anymore because they stopped carrying them. They were a 60,000 mile tire and they'd run every inch of it before they needed replaced. Since then I've just been running the cheapest tires I can get, because I've never had a set of Goodyears or Firestones be actually worth what they were charging for them. They'd either wear out or fail long in many cases before reaching even a paltry 30,000 mile wear. Later! OL J R :)

It's amazing that the equipment to change tires evolved as well. When you consider the overall technology involved in the building and improvement of modern motor vehicles including EVs in the span of just 50 years it's very impressive.

How do you 'only' have 105k subscribers?! This channel is massively underrated. Your format is so informative please don't stop. The other commenter nailed the reasons why.

I had two consecutive vehicles that used the same tire size. I was also putting a lot of miles on my vehicles over the time when I owned said two vehicles. Consequently, I bought “several” sets of tires. What I found was that some of the highest priced tires actually ended up being the least expensive because of their practical longevity. They were also the nicer driving/riding/performing tires right from new.

Great videos! You're really hitting your stride with this new style and format. I'm gonna miss your dashcam reviews given you did such a great job with them over the years, but I'm also very happy to see you continuing to do what's most fun and exciting for you!

These new technologies definitely need some in-depth reviews. Thanks for the info on tires! I'm less inclined to buy cheap tires, that's for sure!

Another great video with lots of valuable information. It kept me engaged from start to finish. The Tire spreader that looks like some kind of Spanish Inquisition torture device for tires can still be found in many tire shops today. It makes it easier to inspect and repair damaged tires. This is very useful for tires with a tall sidewall. When you patch a tire you have to slightly grind the inner surface of the tire so the patch can properly adhere. Low-profile tires are easier to inspect & repair but are much more difficult to install and remove. With the old tire machines, it was very easy to damage a low-profile tire when trying to break the bead from the rim. This is because there's almost zero flexibility in the sidewall of a low-profile tire. I might be wrong, but I was thinking that car and driver magazine did a test of a few tire brands to see how well they lasted over their lifetime. In any case, it's your attention to detail that has brought this issue to the forefront. Great job and I look forward to seeing your next video!

Well written video! Not too technical so the newbies will understand but not too dumbed down so it’s not boring. A great balance you have stricken here!

it's not a cheat, its a tradeoff. if the sipes go all the way to the bottom of every tread block , the block loses rigidy and will bend and twist causing a squirmmy feel as you drive and it will create more heat in the rubber making it wear even faster

That apparatus you described as “what ever this does” is a machine designed to turn the tire tread inside out to facilitate patching.

People with cars don’t feel this pain normally, and a blown tire isn’t all that bad. On a truck, for a trustworthy tire (something you need when rolling with 3 tons pulling 5 tons) you’re not getting out of it less than $300 a tire before mounting.

This issue of the depth of Sipes is interesting because this sounds like the tricks the car makers have used in the past to cheat MPG and emissions tests. If they know that the tyre will only be tested when new then why not? Sipes really affect grip on wet or snow covered roads. But how practical is it for testers to wear down a set of tyres to say half their life, with only 4mm or 5mm of tread left?

I think at a minimum reviewers should note when there are shallow sipes and explain that this means dramatically reduced performance as the tire wears. I kinda doubt they will do this though, I don't remember ever seeing a car review explain that small displacement engines with a turbo to make up for it get dramatically worse real world milage, especially in harsh conditions. It's so common people think the are buying a fuel efficient car when they aren't because of this.

It’s a good idea and wouldn’t be too hard to implement. I k ow you can get tires shaved down; even if it isn’t exactly analogous to wearing them down on the road it would be close.

Great video! The tire you show with the sipes that aren’t full depth is made by General Tire which is a Continental sub-brand. I’ve always held sub-brands in roughly the same esteem as their parent brands, could you do a video on sub-brands vs parent brands and how corners are cut? With increasing inflation, people are trying to save money where they can.

Thank you for the holistic approach; I'm reasonably informed on engineering topics but I enjoy the details.

really interesting video. Well done.
