[QUOTE="Digger 5, post: 1030852, member: 16808"] I have single bead locks and haven't ever had any issue swith any of the 3 sets I've had. I think double beadlock are a great idea and will eventually be much more common. One downside is that 15" wheels double beadlocks don't work on many rigs due to brake interference. I would get double beadlocks if I had that option when I ordered wheels. Burping air out of the inside bead is more an issue of wheel, than tire. As an example, I've been on trips where nearly everyone ran BFG Krawlers. We had guys that were constantly losing air even though they were only aired down to 8PSI. Others weren't losing air at 4. It quickly became a joke of 'hey when are you going to ditch those POS X wheels'?. Vehicle weights weren't an issue because some of the lighter rigs had the burping problem. I've seen this at other events too and it doesn't just effect beadlocks. Back in the day, a bunch of us (Tree Climber included) all ran 33" TSL's on 10" wheels(no beadlocks) on our CJ-5's. 6PSI was the common pressure. Some of the guys lost a bead every trip out, others never lost a bead. Double beadlocks are cool:awesomework: Stauns....not so much. [/QUOTE]
