Beadlocks to Non-beadlocks

[Suneedh Wrangler]

Guys, I need some advice.

I have beadlock tyres on my Pajero but thinking of switching to non-beadlock.

Somebody is ready to take my beadlocks and give me his non-beads.

Both are 17inch and both are Methods.

Should i switch?

 

Reason for switching - with beadlocks the car needs spacer and thar makes the tyres stick out more, which is an issue in passing. Secondly, i dont like the fact that i need to pay 100 aed each time to open a beadlock tyre.

I personally wouldn't go back to non beadlocks...

You'll appreciate them later if you already have a set.

If they're not rubbing and causing trouble keep em. If too hard to get passing, switch and get a correct fitting set of beadlocks later 🙏

Thanks @Luke K P for the advice.

 

Similar advice was given by a lot of people from other offroad groups to keep the Beadlocks and enjoy minimum-poppit drives.

Good choice 😁Get a torque wrench from Amazon...and periodically keep your beadlocks torqued correctly! 😎
