The heat isn't the issue, its the expansion of the tire, just like if you.have ever had a rc car held it and floored it the tires will swell in the middle enough to pull the beads off the wheel

Techno tire update. That is who makes them. They are remolds, whatever that means. They are radials, 6ply tread, 2ply side walls. On the side its says do not go over 80km per hour. LOL But they are d.o.t.
Got them friday, and today was road trip and wheeling!!
ON the road they make noise(no kidding) With lugs like that they will make noise. Not as bad as tsl's though. They are brand spankin new, but they were just a tiny bit floaty on the road compared to the skinny federals. However I would actually give the better ride to the techno's.
I hit the freeway doing 70 at no problems what so ever. After the 2hr drive home the tires were not even warm to the touch. Two were 2.50z off before weight, one 9.70 and one 11.25oz off. zerod of course after balancing.
Off road they did as good as they look. A guy there had a brand new set of 35" boggers, another had 36tsl's both on cherokees. And my techno's would claw up hill noticibly better. Everyone was asking about the tires. LOL
I was paranoid about the sidewalls. But at 7psi they held a bead great, and did not collapse. I ran the trails at 13psi all day today. Never a problem, through some pretty gnarley areas.
They say 32in. But mounted on the jeep they measure 32.5. So they are a full 33in tire. Plus even after cutting more of my fenders away, I am still rubbing where with the 32" federals I never rubbed.
So far nothing but good to say about them.
