Air pressure...

Pressure?  What's that?
 
What tires do you run?
What pressure on road?
What pressure off road?
Is that with bead lockers?  If yes, what pressure would you run without...if no, what pressure would you run if you had beadlockers?
What are your thoughts on Staun type in tire bead locks?
What are your thoughts on bead locks in general?

40" IROKS
20-25lbs
10-15lbs
no 'locks but if I had inner and outer beadlocks I would run 0 pressure due to the fact my tires are stiff enuff to hold my rig at 0 pressure.
The beadlock question really depends on your choice of how wild and how mean a trail you really plan on running. Places that fold or push your tire sideways from the rim are the places a beadlock is needed. I know alot of folks that run these places without and not have a problem, its all in how you wheel. A DD wouldnt need some because you are not gonna put it thru such places that one is necessary. This also depends on the tire pressure you want to run. Less pressure, better chance to "pop" a bead.

Hahahaha, apparently you never saw me wheel mine.
 
With my TJ I ran 32" TSL/SX's. It was a DD, on the street I ran 10-12psi and on the trail I went as low as 8psi. Oddly enough the only time I broke a bead was during the ice storm this year......in my driveway. The air was so cold it got to dense and essentially lowered my pressure, backing it out, it just popped off. This of course was on some generic aluminum rims, no beadlocks.

What are your thoughts on bead locks in general? I have some but am debating whether to use them as they are time consuming to put together and I hear that they wont hold air very long.

Rubi Red - How do you like the 35" MTRs?? That's what we're thinking about getting.

And wow, I didn't realize you could go down to 5-8psi with beadlocks. Interesting!!

the MTR is a good tire IMO.  For driving on and off road both.  I liked the 31s that came stock.  When I went to 35s I ran two sets of cheap mud tires, but like the MTR tire better.  When I have to get new shoes it will be MTR or Copper SSR.
