What happens here

The host discusses the project with Alex and Tim, revealing that a temporary fix was applied to a broken brake line by capping it off. This allows the loader to be moved for the tire change. The host then connects with Jerry from Nokian Tyres via phone to gain expert insight into the differences between various tire types and the specialized features of snow tires designed for heavy equipment.

Goal: Resolve immediate mechanical issues for transport and gather expert knowledge on tire types.

Tools and materials

  • Brake Line Cap — Temporarily sealing a broken hydraulic brake line
  • Mobile Phone iPhone — Communicating with the tire expert
  • SDLG L918F Wheel Loader SDLG — The machine needing the temporary fix and tire change

Sledge all right guys I've got Jerry on the phone he is one of the guys that actually originally created those famous Haka polluted tires that guys so much love across the the nation Jerry can you hear me okay I can hear you very well hello guys okay so Jerry are the Haka palu tires that I'm sticking on my loader going to be the same things that guys have that they're sticking on their pickup trucks you're going to see a huge improvements as the guys see but they are not the same thing okay these tires are not truck tires they were specifically made for the tractors and loaders to give you the best grip on snow eyes and wet surfaces okay first thing I got to ask you jery is what's the difference between your Haka paludi snow tire and a dirt Tire I would say that the biggest difference is the performance these tires were specifically designed to Excel on the snow and ice so you are going to see way more traction way more efficient performance on your work and you will feel wayer for driving your vehicle okay so but tell me about how is a dirt Tire developed in comparison to a snow tire that makes this big difference in performance what's the mindset behind what you guys were doing when you were trying to make a tire directly for snow and ice if you want to succeed on a snow and ice you need to have a tire which really accommodates the the conditions of the cold weather and a slippery surface we do that through three main things we do that through a specifically designed tread pattern a special tread rubber compound and then casing which delivers the longest widest more rectangular footprint possible what do you mean by the longest widest rectangular footprint possible when you try to get the best scrape you need as many edges and as much thread rubber touching the surface so what you are trying to do is make sure that when the tire flexes under the low and touches the ground that footprint is as long as it can be it is not round or oval it's nice and rectangular and that the distribution of the pressure is as evenly distributed as possible all the way around it that flat across the top lots of ridges lots of bumps softer rubber compound
