Bead Lock tires Have Legal Issues ?

[Sam Don]

Hello Fellas!

Have you heard of any legal issues with bead lock, I am coming across multiple articles (online) where they state beadlock tires can void the insurance, there are safety issues for highway use etc. 

Any thoughts / experience anyone could share. 

Note: I want to upgrade to a bead lock but this is going to be a daily use + off-roading use. 

 

Thanks,

Sam

lots of vehicles here come from agency with beadlock options, so no troubles with not being able to use them.  Personally I like being able to air down very low. The extra traction is by far worth the hassle of retorqing to spec.

Remember to retorque all 30 bolts per wheel every 500km!
