thanks

 

it keeps the bead tighter so you can air down lower

 

And increases the chances of you popping the bead.

 

tighter bead mean less chance of popping the bead. people have been doing it for years

 

...thats why so many suggest getting wider rims for the wider rubber, eh...?

 

i dont plan on running anything widder than a 10.5. like stated before its a mud truck and i want to slice through the mud as oppose to digging thru it

 

wider is bad for airing down. a loose bead is no good. that is why if you run a 10" rim with a 12.50 tire they dont recommend airing down past 15psi

i bought prime steelies from discount tire and htey were only 40 bucks each, brand new. black steelie with red and purple strips

 

Really? Was that necessary?

I'm just saying, if your advice is such a good, popular idea, how come there aren't tons of threads here praising its awesomeness? How come so many here suggest getting wider rims, and not keeping their stockers?

Oh, wait, it chews up the tires funny. Thats a great idea.

 

i would suggest getting wider rims if your gonna run wider tires like 12 and up. but for a 10.5 tire like stated below im cool with the steelies. no need to invest a ton of money in rims for me when its a mud vehicle.

 

google "poor man's beadlock".

people dont look into things. they also think wider tires on wide rims look "cool". they dont keep stock wheels because of the backspacing. most peole dont like running spacers. how does a 7" rim chew up tires. i ran 7" stock canyons with 12.50s w/ spacers. tire wore great and i could drop the pressure to 8 with no issues

 

ive tried alot stuff over past 11 years with my jeeps.

what kind of spark plugs do you run in your jeep?

 

Your link alone states they don't wear evenly.

So the same link you use to say this is good, also says its not good.

Just because you've tried things for 11 years doesn't make them good, nor does it make them right.

And what do spark plugs have anything to do with this?

I don't run any spark plugs. I run on hopes and dreams, and get 50+ mpg.
