- What's going on guys?
It's Dustin with Custom Offsets,
and you guys have been asking us a lot,
"What's the scoop with Venom Power tires?"
So today we're actually gonna be sitting down.
We're gonna be going over,
if you didn't know, Venom Power actually makes
three separate tire models.
So I've got 'em all in front of me here today.
We're gonna be going over 'em,
kinda comparing and contrasting them,
which one's better for your application,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Before we do that, though,
you can check all of these tires out at CustomOffsets.com.
We also have a giveaway going on,
get entered to win, it's pretty cool.
Check it out.
CustomOffsets.com/Giveaway is where you can find that.
So let's get right into it.
When it comes to tires,
Venom Power's a pretty new name in the market.
They've been around for at least with Custom Offsets,
they've been with us for about a year, maybe a little over,
and they first came out with this guy right here.
This is the X/T.
So today we're gonna be looking at their X/T
or all-terrain, their R/T which is their hybrid tire,
and then their M/T, which of course,
as you guys know, is a mud terrain tire.
When it comes to pricing, we're gonna be looking at
35 12 and a half R20s.
Now, before you @ me,
I know this is a 35, these are 33s,
but just bear with me.
It's what we've got for comparisons today.
So before we jump into it,
one of the things you're gonna notice
with the Venom Power tires is that they are
a very square tread design.
And you're gonna see that across
all three models as we look at 'em today.
The other thing I want you to pay close attention to
is that in the M/T and the hybrid tire,
both of them are going to feature a dual sidewall.
So that means that on one side of the sidewall here,
you've got a more aggressive blocking pattern.
On the other side,
you've got a little bit less aggressive blocking pattern.
So it really lets you kind of custom tailor that look.
And it's something that Venom Power
is one of the few companies that actually offers that.
So let's get started right away.
Up first is the X/T, this is a super popular tire.
We've seen it kind of explode in the last year.
It was the first tire released by Venom Power.
We actually did a driving review on these tires
about a year ago, and they do a fantastic burnout,
which not so coincidentally enough
also makes them a great buy.
When it comes to tread patterns on this guy,
you're gonna see it's a tread pattern that mimics
a lot of the other, maybe bigger brands in the market.
It's gonna have this kind of hook-shaped center block
design in here.
That's really going to help you have good grip
when you need it
in some of the more inclement weather,
but still have good siping to help clear out
should you find yourself in the snow or in the mud.
You know, if you happen to get a rock caught in there,
it'll eject pretty easily.
Center pattern is still pretty closed in that regard.
And then of course, you've got these big kind of,
I guess they're di or,
(bleep), what's the word I'm looking for?
Like triangular, that's it.
So you're gonna notice the side blocks here
are very triangular and pretty big.
They're gonna help you get that side lug bite
should you need it.
Best part about this tire is it actually features
a 50,000 mile tread warranty,
which is pretty impressive for a truck tire.
A set of 35 12 and a half R20s
in this guy are gonna set you back
at least at this point, just over 900 bucks.
So they're a fantastic buy for what you're getting.
They last quite a long time,
and they're a pretty good tire.
Up next is their R/T,
otherwise known as their hybrid tire.
That's gonna be the one right here in front of me,
as you guys can see here.
So unlike its M/T counterpart,
you're gonna see this one again
is gonna feature a pretty close tread design overall,
which is really gonna help with road noise.
It's got this super consistent center tread pattern
with these big kinda Z shaped blocking,
or Z shaped siping, excuse me.
And then within the tread blocks,
it also has this little siping,
which is really gonna help
should you find yourself in snow or in rain,
you know, anytime you have wet traction,
that's gonna help you really
keep the truck planted where it should be.
This one doesn't have quite as big
of side lug on it in comparison to some of the other tires,
you can see it's a little bit more tucked back in here
and square on the shoulder.
But again, what I want you guys to see here
is this is a 12 and a half wide tire,
and it is solid at about 12 and a half inches wide.
So unlike some of the other tires on the market,
sometimes a 12 and a half
will get you anywhere between 11 and a half
to 12 and three quarters.
These are gonna be a true square sidewall design,
which is something that Venom Power is really proud of.
So again, this tire is gonna feature that same
dual sidewall.
So one side more aggressive,
the other side, less aggressive.
So you can really custom tailor that look on your truck,
a set of 35 12 and a half R20s
in this tire is gonna set you back just about $1,100.
So a little bit more than the X/T,
but still a really, really good buy on these tires.
So last, but certainly not least is the M/T, that's right.
We're talking this mud tire, baby.
This one is pretty aggressive.
And if you're looking at it, it's pretty gnarly.
So it's got these really, really pointed,
almost knife shape tread blocks
that are kinda laid back and forth
through the center tread design.
And then it's almost the same shape
on the outer lug as well.
Except those are pointed in.
The one thing you're gonna notice with this tire
is in true mud tire fashion,
it's gonna have massive voids in the tread blocks here.
You're gonna have a lot of open space,
which is gonna cause a lot of road noise.
However, it looks freaking awesome.
So this one is gonna be again,
super consistent through the middle here,
but really open and blocky.
It's still gonna feature that same
siping inside the tread lug.
So it's really gonna help you again,
should you find yourself in the rain,
in the snow, in something that is gonna require you
to have a little bit more grip.
An open tread block design like this again
is going to come with some more road noise.
However, if you're looking at a mud tire,
you probably already knew that anyway.
So I'm super excited.
Both the mud terrain and the hybrid
should have reviews coming soon.
We should have them on trucks here
in the next couple weeks.
So we're really excited.
We're gonna get 'em out there.
We'll give you guys those real world tests
that you like to see from us.
In the meantime, if you want to check out
any of these Venom Power tires,
you can do that at CustomOffsets.com.
Peace.
