Default New Tires, Beadlock Rims, Lock's, Auto air downs...

Just ordered some new Dick Cepeck 31/10.5/15s with Cragar BeadLock Rims & Center caps (10x15) with chrome valve stems, Lock's for each tire and auto air down valves from Summit. Got a great deal and almost $200 off book and website price...I will take pics when they come in and put them on but for now here is what I got.

Better sand floatation when aired down. I do 99% driving on the beach so I wanted a sand tire and would have had to wait until late May for the Bigger TrXus or Baja Claws...Tj

It's a rod holder for surf fishing, although I'd be scared of what I'd catch off the Jersey shore. :x
