I have searched the site and found a few topics that touch on this however, I am still left without solid answers to the following questions;
1. Can you run a beadlock wheel on a DD (that is used for wheeling) without fear of deflation and or related issues?
2. Are beadlock wheels (specifically ATX Slab) much heavier that an average non-bead lock wheel.....to the point that you would actually notice a difference in performance of any sort.....breaking, acceleration and so on?
3. Are beadlock wheels hard to get to balance resulting in poor performance with long distant and or daily highway driving?
4. Is a beadlock unnecessary when your not doing any hardcore wheeling? Assuming just the basic practice of airing down will be enough?
Looking at the beadlock wheel in order to avoid ever throwing a bead on the trail using an average wheel and of course the awesome appearance. Maybe I shouldn't even be concerned if I am not really airing down beyond 20 to 25psi with 35" Nitto TG.
Thanks for the input and advise.
