Help me pick my new wheels

[Bob Barker]

Ah, now I get what you were saying!


Problem with the chamber pro's (wheel #6) is that the beadlock is functional, and I'm not sure I really want a functional beadlock to drive around on all day... Does that require a special tire to have beadlock rims or will any type tire work with them?

Any tire will work with beadlocks...nothing special needed. For road use a beadlock is not really needed (but won't harm anything). Where they shine is offroad...you can air the tires down uber-low for superior traction and not wory about losing a bead.

Check me if I'm wrong here Sandy, but...

Are the majority of bead locks DOT approved for street use?

I haven't done any research on it, just remember hearing something here or there...

Edit/Addendum...N E V E R mind...

After a bit O the old google D goo, it looks like it's no prob-lame-O
