How They Make The Largest Tires In The World

[@krusejonathan01]

I love that you guys talked to some actual workers and not just all supervisors.

[@warrenmichael918]

Well they wanted to know what was actually going on!! LOL

[@jimpinger6206]

Shows how much Titan believes in their employees!

[@RadDadisRad]

@@jimpinger6206 lol, the employees are Union. They don’t care about them.

[@andrewdieter3518]

90 percent of the supervisors and managers in the Bryan plant worked on the floor for several years.

[@NavexCole]

Touring the titan tire factories was an absolute blast and super fascinating. I would have never imagined the tire making process being this unique! Really cool! 😆

[@nathans3022]

You should see how they balance them at the Quincy, IL location. ;-)

@Teddy D Hello ☺️

[@elizabethliska5377]

Is that the plant in downtown Des Moines by the railroad tracks. I drive a semi truck and used to go there all the time. I have not been there in 20 years. I have been to all 3 plants mentioned before!

I install OTR and AG tires for a living, in 3 days it’ll be 18 years I’ve been doing it. I always enjoy seeing tire factory videos.

[@hammerman7082]

How cool it is that you got to talk to my dad! He was super excited to drive you around and explain all the things he does at Titan! ( He's the one driving the golf cart and maybe also a good politician )

[@jeffreyvandervoort8324]

Never knew that tire building was so involved. Really interesting. Thanks Cole and Scott.

[@codymoffatt1281]

I didn't think I would like this video, I watched the whole thing and actually enjoyed it.

[@kerryforyeshua7453]

Look at tire repair, so many steps. So I wasn’t surprised to see that making the entire tire is complex

[@summerrancher8044]

As engineer by profession, I've always been extremely impressed with Scott. His depth of knowledge on their products from start to finish is impressive. Believe me when I say, 90% or more of managers out there in industry aren't that way. He's the type of manager that makes the best manager because he understands it all and can speak to it in depth. In addition, he understands his employees jobs and values them.

I worked in the rubber industry over 30 years. Nothing new here but I liked seeing it again.

I am Maintenance Supervisor at the Bryan Plant. This is an excellent video showing what we do and the pride we have in things. We appreciated you coming.

[@joefudd]

I have been to Bryan several times over the years. Home of the famous "Etch-A Sketch"/Ohio Art! I used to work as a service center for SPX Robinair. I really liked that town and Montpelier and Archbold's Sauder Village and "The Barn" restaurant. Man, when it snows up there (lake effect) it really puts 'er down! First times that I have ever driven in a total white out and could not see the edges of the highway as they were flat with all of the open farm fields!

Nice job Cole. Very good job explaining the process,,,, Now I know why the tires are so expensive,,,

[@nancysmith2295]

I caught the cost of tires too. I can really respect that cost more than before this video.

I had to pause several times, grabbed a second cup of coffee. Even started taking notes, figured there is going to be a test at the end..... I'm to old of dog to be learning this much!

[@GRAYgauss]

I have big respect for factories like this that respect the public and spend time and energy on giving tours.

[@bobrat]

Thanks good instructional video. I worked for a tire dealership right after I got out of the Army in 1975. We did everything from wheel barrow tires, auto, fork truck and Cat front end loaders. Nice to see how they are made.

[@nicfrieler1305]

Great to see Titan let Their employees get to talk and explain some of process. Most companies want Them to be seen not heard. Have seen equipment like that in a company that I worked for, amazing how many companies use same equipment. This was a fantastic video Cole. Thanks for sharing.

WOW,, That was amazing. To think that a guy who brings pizzas out to your farm for lunch is one of the top manager engineers at a factory as huge and complicated as Titan Tires is impressive. It was obvious that everyone at Titan takes pride in their work and were experienced veterans. It was also very impressive how quickly Cole understood everything..

I worked for TiTan Wheel int. and its great to see the people i worked with. I also have pics of the largest tire in the world when i was in the tire plant in bryan ohio. Automation international inc. in Danville illinois makes the mold for those tires which was the company i worked for.

[@clintmyrick4128]

Fascinating. I relived my summers working at the Firestone Tire and Rubber plant in Salinas, CA in 1973 & 4. I could "smell" the factory while touring Titan in this video! Thanks. Enjoyed. (I was a Laborer, my dad was the Maintenance Manager).

[@marvbush5592]

I don’t know if it happened to you or not Cole, but you really got a good look at production work in a factory. It makes us appreciate those that build things for us to use and enjoy. It’s I think one of the toughest jobs. Production of any kind in a factory is tough even if your just standing there and just adding pieces it’s tough to to it day in and day out. I hope all of your viewers appreciate what Goodyear did here. Wow just great!

[@brentkreinop489]

My dad worked for a cast iron foundry that was electric powered. I worked there a couple of summers and whenever the power cut out, the power company would call them to tell them when it was coming back on. I was there for one such event. They had to rig up a fork lift and series of chains to be able to dump the furnace manually since less than fifteen minutes after the power cut it was starting to solidify in the crucible. If it had gone fully solid, it would have been multiple weeks of downtime. If you ever get the chance, a tour of Caterpillar's plant in Lafayette, IN is another good place to see. 20 years ago, they were building an engine there that used a Chevy V8 as a starter and had a radiator that was around eight feet tall. The foundry dad worked for made the custom high-moly exhaust pipes for that engine. The center pipes were around 100lbs per cylinder, where the end ones were 140lbs :)

Whether it be these huge tyres or tiny cycle tyres, the manufacture of tyres is one of mankind's greatest achievements. So much engineering involved. They have to be perfect most of the time and no one really even thinks about it. I do. I'm one of those guys who gets high on having new tyres fitted to my cars and bikes. Beautiful.
