Here's How I Work My Race Car Tires

[@treyshuler9493]

I remember workin in my Paw-paws shop using a very similar Coats tire machine. Great video Herm. Brought a little tear to my eye when you spun that cone down to tighten up. Great memories.

[@rodstevenson8231]

Kenny sharp as a tac and twice as flat headed !!!!!!!🤣🤣

[@johntaylor-so7yw]

Going to see some tire management tonight at Florence speedway in Kentucky and that's where a young Jeff Gordon got his first win in a sprint car

[@danieltremel4066]

The great Ken Squier described it best, “Ordinary men doing extraordinary things”. Good job Herman! You’ve earned it all!Loved the lesson. Thanks

[@markroberts9577]

It's your money you use it as and when you see fit after all you earned it

[@60trickpa]

Use to use one of those tire changers every day in my youth working at the full service gas station back when gas was .25 cents a gallon

[@flyjarrett]

Love “Herman’s Shop Talk.” Please do more!

[@LyleJr]

My Uncle still has a tire changer like that and uses it all the time, way to go Kenny. As the saying goes "Work smarter not harder"

[@EarlFaurote]

We used to turn the right rear around on used sprint car tires on a non-wing sprint car and get some times another feature or at least a heat race out of it and would regularly beat the guys that told us we couldn’t do that.

[@jblack4593]

even though I know some of this stuff I still love your videos, you make it so much fun and entertaining, gotta love some Kenny Wallace

[@slevin177]

Hey Wallace, that's smart thinking pumping them up for a bit so they seat.

[@stevenburger6180]

Thanks for the video,I think you should do more like that! Very informative and entertaining

[@brentbahm7227]

Next time talk about what do you take to the race track , as far as tools , and spare parts and equipment, show your hauler, thanks.

[@Dooguy]

Respect.......love that fact your being frugal with tires. My parents always told me, it doesnt matter how much money you make its how much you spend.

[@tomstrawmyer4980]

I like these videos sharing details about how things are done. I remember doing similar stuff with Sprint car tires. Everything is different, but there's details that is much the same.

[@georgew.5639]

I once knew how to operate that old tire changer! It was easy enough for a teenager to use it correctly. 😊

[@JP1AO]

Yep. 3rd job was attendant at a full services gas station at 17. This brought those memories back.

[@gobbler1957]

Used a Coats 20/20 in the 70's at a Shell gasoline station.

[@user-qb6cb1rk3m]

I like watching u wish we could race but right now I'm barely keeping food on the table and my boys keep telling me how they want to race

[@KennyWallace36]

sorry to hear that!

[@silentowlscribe]

That's tough 😔. Never lose hope. 😊

[@keanueraine]

Mr Wallace, I love these Tire episodes. I feel you could make a full "behind the scenes" series for your Dirt Track car and do very well. Not sure what your analytics show you but these videos interest me. Love your straight talk. Never change brother.

[@tarheelpatch3386]

Great job , i always enjoy your videos

[@scottburns2600]

Herminator is in da house!

[@DannyWalker247]

Kenny that tire machine looks like the one at the Esso where I worked in North Carolina over 50 years ago.

[@Goodtime711]

Thanks Kenny

[@michaelriffey1268]

No it makes alot of sense Kenny n flipping it

[@cw1824]

I tried flipping the right rear one time in IMCA modified class. It was like running on marbles. I vowed to never do that again. 😂

[@LisaDouglasinhooterville]

Kenny’s working smarter not harder ! 👏

[@kenjoseph-bw5bo]

Saw a lot of moisture spit out when you hooked your air chuck up. Those nascar boys be cringing inconsistent builds. Haha! Good stuff

[@mm93mustwin13]

The question is did you learn anything Jamie.Thanks for the video Wallace

[@martymurphy7477]

Wallace you got that NASCAR "MONEY"....lol your words lol

[@ScottWilson-uk1yv]

Dang look at all that fancy groove work lol

[@jasonburns9320]

I used to use that kind of tire machine at my dad’s shop.

[@Dirtmodmaniac]

Exactly what we do

[@deansimpson6618]

Com' on Herm, put a little hair around it !!! LOL

[@RandyHall-nt9qn]

You do a really good job at it lol good job win

[@MrMad2424]

@11:34 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@miketowell3674]

Herman, that’s why they make torque wrenches!!!!!

[@cliveleslie7004]

Hey Herman I'll come help you with that tire mounting.

[@charlesjonesiii1]

i want to see him with jessie from htf.

[@H3110NU]

Modifieds seem to be more fun and less tire work than late models. But I do see a lot of Mod guys heat cycling tires for optimal usage.Blume they have three sets of tires on the go at all times. Late model guys just burn a set every main event.

[@jnel57]

Did you say that is called Tire Management ?

[@markssalvage]

Kenny? Congrads on your win the other night, hope all is well on the home front, just wanted to ask are you planning on racing in the Mid Atlantic this season or planning on going back to Dirtweeks at Voluis a in 2025?........ say hello to Jughead for me im glad to see he is doing better

[@XCaliKev]

👍🤠 It must be fun living in your head ✌️

[@Jeffbambam]

Herm I was expecting to see you soak the tires is that something you already had done ?

[@gunn13fan]

When you say 60 and 30 are you talking about the laps that are run before you have to change them? Or is that the diameter of the tire?

[@JP1AO]

If you want it done right. :) I got a question for you Herm. DO they use nitrogen for tires in Nascar? Just got new tires this weekend on the truck and they list nitrogen tire inflation. It's supposed to not change pressure with temperature swings.

[@dashnstash2437]

I wanna see you argue with Rusty! ❤️

[@dashnstash2437]

BTW love the whole family ! Lost my brother in August, live fast! Stay Honest !

[@dougvinduska9593]

Think you can help the Hunt the Front guys out with some crew chief advise. They are sucking pretty bad at the last 3 races that's good content.

[@portsboy1]

Awesome!😊

[@dizzylizardproductions]

Please tell me how the heck you cant love KW? Fun to watch and tons of racing knowledge at the same time. What else you want?

[@jrluc]

Hey I'm friends with Jeff LeBaube and I'm starting up a kids mod and I'm gonna race out at peavely. I was wondering if I could get some tires?

[@user-gh6fd9ef9s]

Your killing me. 😂😅😂

[@rnvrnv354]

Hey, No soapy water for lubricant and overall sealing on those bias ply tires?

[@BA-xj9ew]

Kenny sure gets angry and cranky when he's in the shop.

[@michaelholmes8350]

Too much coffee with Kenny 😂

[@coils4foil537]

Get them elbows up 3xRVA champ Herminator!!

[@user-bu8bc6kg4f]

That old tire machine is easier for tires under 17 " diameter. I used one till 09 when most my customers had 14s 15s 16s

[@cliveleslie7004]

Hey Herman where is your snap-on tool box.

[@ray-ew7tp]

The tyres look directional, are they? 🇬🇧

[@michaelriffey1268]

The tire goes thur a heat cycle

[@LisaDouglasinhooterville]

Just curious what does a Hoosier tire cost ? I have no idea . Honestly!

[@boosted74m2]

My dad would air them up and bounce them like a basket ball for about 5 minutes to seat tires .

[@Jeremyfedor]

More shop vids!!!

[@kevinhuneycutt9691]

Did you say this is tire management?

[@indybobthis]

So you take the air out instead of letting it out ? (j/k) I had the same tire machine. Don't have to be fancy to get the job done.

[@bryonkidder6199]

Grinding tires at the track is where a lot of guy's ruin their brand new expensive tires...imo No tire that has 50 flat spots around the tire is gonna be fast no matter what the car's set-up. The grinder rotates clockwise and has to go across the contact patch to sharpen the drive edges blocks of that particular tire. Dragging the grinder back and fourth across the tire ruins that tire. I see it in almost everyone's videos...btw

[@jameskim62]

Is it biased or radial tire ????

[@riverrat82]

Haha put some hair around it😂😂😂

[@user-gh6fd9ef9s]

Hey Herman. Stop just stop. LMAO😭😂😭🤣🤣😭😂😭🤔

[@jeffhenson1994]

tire time

[@jbabister]

has this been proofin? If u put 3 brand new hard tires ungrooved just sanded vs a guy with brand new grrooved and sanded tires,,,,who is gonna win?

[@mattomon1045]

Kenny you are thrifty but not cheap ! no I did not break bolts off ! I did brake my shoulder with my impact wrench.

[@wegottafishdude]

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@jeffprice8250]

Smart assory comes with “wisdom”

[@Ronald-dc6me]

Wallace I always liked you, now I know why😅

[@xmanb8193]

❤️

[@StereoRodeo]

Let’s see you do another one and this time keep your white shirt clean, lol. I’m also a smart ass. Cheers.

[@ryanvila1837]

Let me get my remote controller and hit the ff button

[@jeffwooton7138]

Herm, if I fast forwarded, I'd miss all the normal shop talk "smart-assery"

[@Ezzz-of3gr]

Kenny, do you have a lot of money 🤑?

[@jeffhenson1994]

+LOL U PUT ON THE SAME WAY

[@christianmayhew2617]

All about Simple Green

[@Zer0C00lness]

Being a smartass is a new thing, Kenny? I don't think it's that new. Lol.

[@jeffhenson1994]

LOL

[@nicolekestner185]

We can make fun of him all we want but we don't the experience he does

[@noahsathletics]

Grow tomato plants in your junk tires.

[@xcracer450]

First two minutes he's already told his audience that they "dont know anything", and that he "has a lot of money". This guy is insufferable

[@robertkutz]

COOL.😂😂

[@nonamegarage6721]

Herman with all that NASCAR money you gotta hire you some help....😅
