Thanks for the wheel suggestion, I’ll check with their back order status tomorrow. BTW 30psi is still 30psi with the weight of the vehicle on it; the deflate speed won’t change.

[@slothfabgarage8233]

you are correct on the psi, i knew what i was trying to say, but poorly ariculated it. regardless, they are quick valves!

[@Fit4Life921]

did you end up having to swap out the valve core to a filtered one? wondering if you had any issues with the beads getting stuck in the shrader valve?

[@slothfabgarage8233]

i did struggle with the beads occasionally getting stuck in the valve. usually during filling. i would just pull the valve and reinstall and it would be fine. it was marginally annoying but not terrible

[@drock3825]

How do you gauge how many spacers to use on the bead locks or did you just go with one per bolt?

[@slothfabgarage8233]

i went with one per bolt. without them you could see the ring being pulled out of "flat" so the idea was to add enough spacer so that when it was tight they sat flat

[@Fit4Life921]

was 12 oz enough or did you have to add more?

[@slothfabgarage8233]

i have 14 in them now. 12 was close but there was a slight vibration i could feel through the wheel

@@slothfabgarage8233 did you just end up putting the additional 2 oz in via valve stem after pulling the core?

@@Fit4Life921 i popped the back bead of the tire and put them in that way
