tire beads and positively locks the tire to the wheel
rim flange. Beadlocks allow vehicle operation at the
low tire air pressure conditions required for better
mobility in mud, sand and snow.
By reducing the air pressure, the tire footprint is
increased significantly, thus allowing a greater area
of traction or contact. The beadlock also performs as
a safety device to ensure that the tire does not
“unseat” from the rim or rotate on the wheel at these
low air pressure settings, while also preventing the
entry of foreign objects, debris or water into the tire’s
air chamber. Replace with the same type, style or
size as originally equipped or the beadlock wheels
may not function properly. For tire pressures see the
Tire Pressure Chart in
Capacities and Specifications
on page 5-51.
