What happens here

The video introduces Stan's Tire Sealant, a product designed to prevent and seal punctures in tires. To correctly apply the sealant, it's crucial to know the tire's dimensions. The presenter demonstrates how to read tire sizes from the sidewall markings. For utility vehicle tires, a marking like '25x10.00-12NHS' indicates a 25-inch height, 10-inch width, and a 12-inch rim size, with 'NHS' meaning Not for Highway Service. For ATV tires, markings like 'AT25x10-12' indicate a 25-inch height, 10-inch width, and a 12-inch rim, with a similar 'AT25x8-12' for a narrower front tire. For zero-turn mower tires, a marking like '13x6.50-6' means a 13-inch height, 6.5-inch width, and a 6-inch rim size. These dimensions are then input into the Stan's website calculator to determine the exact ounces of sealant required per tire.

Goal: Learn about Stan's Tire Sealant and how to read the size markings on different types of tires (utility vehicle, ATV, zero-turn mower) to determine the appropriate amount of sealant needed.

so what we've got to do is follow the steps pretty much on this jar we're going to deflate the tire and it says it will do lawn mowers it will do utility vehicles four wheelers zero turn mowers wheelbarrows hand carts even skid steer so anything and everything this stuff will do it it tells you around about how many ounces you're going to be putting per tire so like for the front tire of a lawn tractor eight ounces for the front 16 ounces for the rear and this is the 16 ounce yup this is a 16 ounce container you can also get in great big jugs we're going to be putting this stuff in with this little critter right here this little tube is made for going over top of your valve stem and we also have the stands valve stem valve core remover so we're gonna pull everything apart we'll show you guys exactly how to put this stuff in and we'll show you how to read the size of a tire so we'll show you how to read the size of a toro titan max tire a zero turn tire or lawn tractor tire we'll show you how to read the size of a utility vehicle tire and how to read the size of a four-wheeler tire so let's go do that first so you're thinking to yourself josh why do i need to know how to read the size of a tire well it's good knowledge it's good education to have so on this tire it reads 25 by 10.00 dash 12 nhs the nhs means non-highway service the 25 is the height of the tire okay so from the ground to the top that is the height of the tire 25 inches now 10 is the width of the tire so we take all of these numbers and we plug them into the little calculator on the stands website right here so this is the stan's website we punch him into the calculator and we find out that we need 13 ounces of stands in this tire so you don't waste any in other words you wouldn't want to put 16 ounces in it if you only needed 13 ounces that's why you need to know how to read the size of a tire let's go look at another tire and i'll give you another example so we're in the atv tire and it says clearly not for highway use right here at 25 which is the overall height from the ground to the top of the tire by 10 which is the width of the tire from one bead to the other and that's cow manure and the size of the rim which is a 12 so this is a 12 inch rim now there's a different size tire on the front the front tire which we can clearly see is a little bit smaller than the rear tire right there's the front tire and it's a 25 by 8 by 12. in other words it's a little bit narrower it's eight inches…
