Happy birthday @Frederic 🥳

Congratulations buddy, well done 😎

@ASAD., congratulations mate! Welcome to the club 😎

I switched to bead grips after a couple of pop-outs, and touch wood there hasn't been anymore pop-outs since then. I ran even on 6 PSI at some point during Liwa crossing earlier this year with no issues. I am happy with them so far, and I changed all the four tyres recently with no sign of wear & tear due to bead grips. So @ASAD., it could be an one-off case and pin it to the dealer to get your warranty claim sorted 👍. It's true to sort pop-outs easily on non bead grip/bead lock tyres (which I think is impossible), but I would just change to my spare tyre (that I have moved into my truck bed for easy access) and exit as quickly as I can.

@Jaro Tuzinsky The camping spot is not mid desert but closer to the starting point. But it does get cold especially between 9pm-8am with lot of dew. A sleeping bag and an extra thick blanket should be good enough. We will be in the middle of desert during daytime where it’s around mid 20s to early 30 degrees.

Nice and thanks for sharing the pics @Chaitanya D. Blast from the past!

Perfect. Look forward to it 🙌🏼. Indeed. We did the same last year, and it was more relaxed after the drive, go back home the next morning, no rush 😅

Same here. Planning to camp night after the drive.
