    Excellent video buddy. I like your truck and it scoots well. Ironically I used the same draggy app TODAY to test 0-60 on my 2017 Nissan Titan. I recently installed 275/70/18 mud terrain tires on it (which im kind of regretting) . Dropped 3mpg overall and I can feel the engine trying harder to accelerate. I did 0-60 in 7.3 seconds over and over again.

    • @PIPSBURGHVIEWS
      @PIPSBURGHVIEWS  3 роки тому +2

      That is ironic! I think I dropped 2 mpg. These tires were a tad more aggressive than I wanted to go but the price was right and they had good reviews. Thanks for watching!

  • @squirts1
    @squirts1 4 місяці тому +5

    If your tires are larger/taller it effectively changes your gear ratio and completely negates your test... A better test would be to simply add weight to the same tire and wheel package.

    • @f5fstop
      @f5fstop 3 місяці тому

      This test is not good at all for adding WEIGHT. Would need to install same size tires with different weights. And that is easy to do. Just jumping between an SL, XL and LT will give 1-15 pounds of different weight.

    Besides tyres getting warmer...I guess for each successive run, you were turning the 4wd to 2wd slightly earlier in the run, might be that helped with time.

    Biggest difference was that the road was wet on first runs and almost dry on second with heavier wheels meaning much warmer tires. That changes rolling resistance a lot!. If the heavier tires have also lower rolling resistance it can also help in that heavy car. On wet road tire temp is same as road and on dry its +30 to +40 celsius higher.

    a larger tire has a larger radius and has the effect of lowering the gear ratio...ergo less power where the rubber meets the road.

    • @streetglidexxx
      @streetglidexxx 6 місяців тому +2

      It actually gears it up. Numerically
      wise.
      Overall it would lower your rpm's at the same speed versus the shorter tire.
      Like going from a 3.42 to a 3.25.
      Numerically it's taller geared.
      As in top gear convertor locked up the tire would be traveling further down the road per revolution.
      Rolling resistance. Tire plys and air pressure makes a difference as well.
      But that's splitting can't hairs. Lol

    Hey Brian, from a mechanic's perspective, is it bad to use 4x4 shift on the fly while flooring it? I assume not since you did it here, but what is actually happening underneath when you make the shift?

    • @PIPSBURGHVIEWS
      @PIPSBURGHVIEWS  3 роки тому +1

      I would not do it while under heavy load. I shifted in to 4x4 and let it engage before I launched. On most vehicles, when you shift into 4x4 the front axle ends mesh into the front hubs electronically or with vacuum.

      I wanted to ask the same thing. Just from what I can hear in the video, those tires sound as loud as the ProComp 35/12.50/20's I put on my F150. Those were the loudest tires I have ever had on a vehicle. Needless to say, I kept them 2 days and took them back and traded for the good ol' Nitto Ridge Grappler's. The ProComps are a harder compound, have a more aggressive tread pattern, and are more expensive than the Nittos, ($350 vs. $315 per tire) but still the difference in noise is shocking. The Nittos are great in the woods and over rocks and actually have a good tread life. They will be my go to from now on.

    What horsepower & torque number does your Toyota engine produce? I mean, I drive a BMW E90 turbocharged 2.0 liter diesel with 221 lbf-ft torque and 143 hp, with 6-speed automatic. Current setup is 16 inch wheels with 18.7 lbs each wheel. I want to install 18 inch wheels which have 25.2 lbs each, so 6.5 lbs difference per wheel. Will this affect my acceleration and 1/4 mile time? I mean, if it is 0.1s I can live with it, but not more. Great video btw., tbh the results shocked my (pleasantly).

    I don't think it's actually switching from 4wd to 2wd while under load. The "4hi" flashing is the truck's way of saying, "waiting for a chance to do that." Doesn't really make any difference, but those first runs were 4 hi the whole way.

    With heavy wheels it is harder to accelerate and stop only, once heavy wheels start moving you don't need as much power to keep rolling as with the light wheels. Basically once heavy wheels start rolling the centrifugal force just keeps them going with less and less effort. You will gain in mpg on long trips vs light wheels but, you will hate heavy wheels for city mpg.
