View Full Version : I keep losing my beads!

I'm running 32x9.50 TSLs on stock wheels at around 10-11 psi. I keep knocking my front tires off the bead while on eastern trails, in ruts and mud. Is it because of the narrow tire? Or is it too low pressure? Should I go up to 15-16psi? This time I hit a small tree stump that was maybe 4 inches high on an off camber and POOF, no bead.

I had ran into the same trouble. I increased mine to 15 PSI and had no more trouble. But I did spin my weights around on rocks and ruts often so rebalancing became a pain. There are 7" beadlocks out there.

Narrow tires seem to lose the bead more often for me. I'm now running 33 1250s on an 8 inch rim and it never happens even at ten lbs.
