i have the same rims, they're allied beadlocks.
the outter bead sits against the rim and the lock ring bolts up to that pinching the tire in the bead ring.
yeah, the lock ring has like a built in bead. but the tire should just come off that outter lip.
i don't understand what you are saying...

He's saying he left the wheel on the jeep and pulled the ring and the tire stayed in place. I've worked with plenty of beadlocks and just can't see that working. Once the ring is off nothing holds the tire to the rim and the tire will move because of the weight of the tire.
Im not seeing it either... show me pics of a mounted wheel and no ring on a real beadlock mounted correctly

Are you saying that with the ring off the tire has 35 psi in it? The only way that is possible is if the tire was mounted on the inside of the inner beadlock ring. And in that case the wheel is not functioning as a beadlock. Im confused as if there is some form of miscommunication here, or if someone has no idea how a beadlock wheel works.

Bro I hate to tell you that's not a legit beadlock.
Look at the ring. It's 3/16th steel. Not legit in any way. Those are moc-locks.
You would not an any way be able to remove a ring with 2 psi in it and not have to tire blow up in your face.
And 8psi on the trail is a invalid argument.... I run 6-8 psi with my non beadlock 10 inch wide rims.

The person who mounted your tires is retarded. And the wheels are built for dirt race cars. Not legit as a wheeler/daily driver.
There mounted incorrectly. And not safe for the street or wheeling if mounted as a beadlock. While researching the wheel I never saw a dot approved.
