For those of you running beadlocks, do you have a beadlock spare, just a spare tire or none at all?

i have a beadlock spare. it is so nice having an exact matching spare.....so when you have a problem, just put on the spare and keep on going.

obviously this setup is more expensive, but worth it IMO

I carried a tire w/o a rim for a while a true beadlock takes about 5 mins to dismount with the use of a highlift and OBA air tools. A little longer to mount though. Tossed the tire, got a tube and some patching matieral. But I have been lucky.

that doesn't help if you destroy a wheel though.....I have messed up 2 wheels

You have a good point. My luck will run out. I carry about 20 replacement bolts cause I tend to break them off. But have had pretty good luck with rims.
