This is the first mag review I have seen on them.  I may have to re-think this for myself...not ready for beadlocks yet...

Whoooo 78lbs each isn't gonna be too nice on your axles either! Problem with stupid E rated tires is they are made for 1 ton trucks. Problem with stupid 1 ton trucks is all the good tires are made for them!

i run them on my 3/4 ton Dodge. LOVE them onroad. Winter ice and hard pack is no match for these bad boys. i LOVE them ;D

As for a jeep, why do you need beadlocks for them? i have never had beadlocks and have always aired down between 7 and 12psi for 10 wheeling years.
The Toyo OC MT is just as heavy and i ran them on my jeep in 37 flavor with 7-10psi....no problems ever.

I just state beadlocks because of what they said in the article.  This is where my level of noob shows through...I don't have anything to reference it against so I go by what I read.

So on that note, when are beadlocks recommended?

When you become an expert on reseating tire beads because you keep blowing them off!  ;D

It depends a lot on your rim width vs tire width to be honest, and again on sidewall flexibility etc. There's no set number as every variable (engine power, braking performance, driving style, trail conditions) changes the game completely!

I'd worry about getting your rig built and getting some wheeling in before you get too concerned about ultra low pressures and beadlocks. If you're that worried start at a higher pressure and slowly work your way down until you have problems. Losing a bead is why you have a spare, and go with friends!

I run 10lbs on my Hancook DynaPro's without any issues at all, I think I could probably drop a pound or two yet and still be fine.  Only one way to find out and reseating a bead on the trail is not that hard   .................... is it Kev ::)
