KMC Double beadlock on a 46” Mickey Thompson Baja Pro XS tire

- This episode is kind of cool. Nic from the Rockstar Garage mounted his 46” Baja Pro XS tire onto a KMC double beadlock wheel!
When mounting into Gridloc, e tho have a problem with the R1 Concept breaks but it for like a glove.
This is a new look for Gridloc after running the same wheel and tire for 3 years.
Leave a comment and know which wheel/tire set up you like better!
As always, thank you for watching.
Those tires are rowdy. Couple little points as a professional mechanic and tire guy; you don't need to tear open the bags on the balance beads, just throw them in whole, they break open almost right away when you start driving the first time. Also, you should torque those beadlock rings criss crossed all around to make sure the ring compresses everything equally and seats evenly. Love Gridloc. One of my favourite current rigs.
Great advice. That’s surprising about the balance beads...I had no idea! 😀
not sure if they also act as balance but there's a new product called multi seal and it's Kevlar powder and it instantly seals any puncture leaks. have to check with the manufacturer to see if it also balances like this stuff I know that is basically a Teflon powder got a friend that did sell my tires and he told me about it it's called equal with what he used..
i know im 3 years late but you are completely correct i laughed
Excellent tire It's a 50,000 mile all terrain, but is has the aggressive look of a mudder. This is the second set I have put on my truck. The last set were good for 60,000 tough miles. This tire looks good, holds up well, and is much quieter than a mud tire.
Did you just say all terrain?
Here in BC. Ive been running the 46" claw cut simular to yours in the snow since the week they first came out, on a 16" rim at trail pressure of 4 PSI AND DEEP SNOW AT DOWN TO 2 PSI. These new Mickeys look like they would be much better in mud and on the rocks. I still prefer a 16" rim to keep up your ground clearence and still have the nesisary bulge in your tire, keeping enough room between the rim to prevent damage from a pointed object. Will love to see these in action. CHEERS Steve h.
1sheinz we just tested them out in Sand Hollow and they did extremely well! Check out the video and let me know what you think 😀
new kid on the block is my vote just awesomeness
DogHouse 96ZJ 😀🙌🏻
Epic!!! Those are insane. They're like tank track when he had no air pressure. Definately like the new tires. Well played.
Robert Lewis and with the double beadlocks, he should be able to air them down pretty low without worrying about losing air out the back. Can’t wait to see the improvement in performance when we hit the trail!
Those are some bad ass tires and wheels. New kid on the block hands down
I like the look of both tires but the new ones (with the double bead locks) are bound to perform better in most situations. Really enjoy seeing how they are mounted. I had never heard of double bead locks before.
Double bead lock😍 new school looks amazing from here.
I like the Pro XS, just like the look of the squared off tires.
I really didn't like that about my tires at first, but they have really grown on me at this point. Love the look!
The New kid on the block 👍😉🇺🇸👍🇬🇧👍 I can't wait to watch you too in action climbing up some of them vertical walls. 👍
Damn that caliper to wheel gap is close.
Nice jeep, I really like the grill.
Hope everyone is well.
Keep up the great job!
Custom jeeps and their silly tight tolerances 😒... 🤣🤣
Think of it as a "wheel bearing indicator" 😎👍
Nothing like hearing finder lizards talk about who can climb the highest, steepest, and neurally rocks, Love it!!
OMF beadlock conversions are awesome. I run them on my jeep as a single beadlock now and it would be nice to make them a double beadlock like Nic's. Great video and thanks for sharing.
I’m gonna be doing the same on my next set of wheels!
I definitely have to say the new kid on the Block I don't believe Mickey Thompson would have come out with a different set of tires without performing a whole lot better. The reason I love their brand they always put performance first.
Agreed! I’ve had the chance to actually sit and talk with the folks who designed my tire and the Pro XS and they are some of the most awesome tire geeks you’d ever want to meet. I could spend hours listening to them talk about tire structure and testing AND I’m even happier that members of the Rockstar team are part get to help test new prototypes for MT!! 😀🤘🏻
Mickey Thompson tires were banned in Canada as they refused to put a snow rating on their tires. In Canada there has to be a stamp on the tire with a snowflake and or a mountain icon to show it is winter capable. I have Cooper Evolution M/T with a M+S & rating but no 3PMSF rating that classifies it as a "winter tire".
We like the new kid on the block!!! Holly we absolutely love ur videos please keep them coming!!! We are building a 95 ZJ that's what we roll with literary rolled one last year but everyone was 👌!!! This one is getting Dana 60's and we do all the work ourselves helps that my Ol Man is a Mechanic by trade and an amazing fabricator plus a perfectionist at everything!!! Hoping we can meet you and ur husband on one of the trails as we are trying for a trip to The Rubicon ,Fordyce and MOAB within the next two years depending on the $ !!!
SandraBee that sounds like an awesome new build! We are planning to hit at least 12 states this year, so hopefully we will cross paths at some point. Best of luck with the build 😀🤙🏻
Love the daily blog. I definitely like the new mickeys over the old.
jesse davis totally agree! The my are DOT, but the compound is still pretty soft IMO. Can’t wait to see how they perform 🤩
New kid on the block looks good! 🤤
Dylan Emma Olson agreed, I’m a huge fan of them and the compound is soft but I’m definitely sticking with my sticky compound Pro X tires for 2020 😃
MischiefMakerTV I don’t blame you! Those suckers eat!
Been doing the Rubicon since 1967 and thing's Were different !! In 82 i was running Dick Cepek , Monster Mudder's 44in. And i was walking over everything back then 🤗 !! Nice Video Miss Holly and Carry on ! Meet u on the O.P.S Trails 😎✋✌️
Gridlock is such a beast. Honestly I dont know which tire I prefer, they both appear amazing on video. However, I did learn something about the availability of getting double beadlocks without having to use Hutchenson. I hope you have Nic on again. It is really nice to get to know the man behind RockStar and Gridlock.
MSTrishRN yeah, I want to do a more in-depth talk about Rockstar Performance Garage and what the group is really all about.😁
@@MischiefMakerTV That will be awesome! I know you work for Rockstar garage...that is correct? Learning about Mischiefmaker, you & Rockstar garage is fascinating to me.
This is the first time I have noticed Hollies English accent. Hot! My God those tyres are enormous.
Yes I have to look at this old to. That was big wheel!!
Love this Jeep. Saw it on a trailer a few months back leaving Vegas most likely from SEMA headed towards Cali. Hoping to get to that level one day.
Where can I get those wheels? I can't find them anywhere.
I’m in love with that Jeep!
I would say the new tires for sure.
Thanks for showing the double bead lock!... one question though, I thought one needed to torque the bolts in a star pattern, and I saw him just do it round counter clockwise. So just curious why (and yes I know it's a ton easier doing the way he did.
Thats just UNREAL !!!! Definitely the new kid on the block !!!
Thank you for the content hollie. Keep up the great work
tschwag thanks for the encouragement and I truly appreciate you tuning in! 🙏🏻😀
MT...new kid on the block!
Hollie can you teach Nick the difference between wheelbase and track, he was measuring the track of the vehicle, wheelbase is the distance between the front and rear axle centers
Bob Henderson yes I know the difference, it was late and a Friday and an unexpected video was shot. I referred to wheelbase both ways in the video both track and wheelbase. 👍🏼
RockstarGarage track width 😀🙌🏻
MischiefMakerTV seriously 😂 build a ton of rigs and make a quick reference wrong and people act like you know nothing... 😂😂😂🤘🏼
I love beadlocks
Keep up the great vlogs ! And you are correct New Kid on the Block for the win 😎
Eric Peden Baja PRO XS for sure! 😀🤘🏻
Those tires are humanges👍I like it💪🏼Aloha from Hawaii🤙🏽😎🌴
Those double wammies seem pretty dope.
love it, those bead locks are super nice!
IdahO_ goLd he decided to powder coat them and they look stunning. 🤩
He decided to powder coat them and they look absolutely stunning! 🤩
Definitely the PRO XS, the contact patch on those look like they will have grip unlike any other.
I’ve not seen the XS 46 on the rocks yet, but I have a friend who is running the 43” XS and they HOOK! 🤩
I have seen monster truck tires, and like I said before, they were obviously designed for that sport, there's a mind set for that sport, and those people, good for them, but as I am browsing the TH-cam airwaves, and learning all the 4x4 wheel drive conversions systems, and I dam sure admire it ,100% , everyone has their own opinion of transportation and their own opinion of fun, I'm not big on mud, but go for it anyway if that's your idea of fun, dig it, I like 4x4 trucks for winter use ,and especially after a snow storm or ice storm, when you have a tire that is a foot and half wide, and almost 4ft high, I'd call that some perty good muscle, and sometimes the snowy roads do freeze up rather hard, and I have seen our local county garage, it took them a whole dam week just to make it out to our location, this was yrs back, the snow was an average of 2 1/2 ft deep plus , we couldn't get out for a whole f------- week , now if I'd that tire on my truck , HAY, there's a dam strong chance I'd would have been out to the store getting food, when you step outside on the front porch, and I look at the snow, where in the hell did everything go, the snow was above the porch ,,you tell me, just what in the hell would you do, if i had a 4x4 truck with good clearance, I can't wait, the house electric was off, got down to 35 degrees, I've been sleeping with my clothes ever since, we didn't lose any food, that was a small blessing, I like big ground clearance on a 4x4 for snow emergencies, tell me, I'm not going anywhere ,you wanna put money on it , I'm gone, I'm tired of the county utilities, my vote goes for the PRO X S, KEEP IT THAT WAY, I've got my 4x4 truck in my mind, yeah, it's just a dream for now, wayneeden95@gmail.com
I had a Tacoma and I was running just 31s Baja Claws.. I really enjoyed how I knew where I have been because it puts such a unique pattern on the tracks
New kid on the block for sure . Loving the blogs
Thank you, James! It's been a very fun process so far :-)
Out of my league and budget for sure, very cool to watch.
9929kingfish yeah, I didn’t even know you could get beadlocks machined into double beadlocks. Hopefully I’ll be able to do the same to my next set of wheels. 🤞🏻
Good Morning. I like the new
Pro XS, they're so WIDE!!!!
Roger Almeida appropriately beefy for a build like GRDLOC 🤩
I'm a subscriber....we don't see many ladies who loves off road vehicles....love and like from India
Thank you
New kid on the block!
Evan Coulombe 😀🤘🏻
YJ, TJ, JK, JL I like em all; but building a CJ, is just bad ass.
That's right!!! Gridloc is a great build!
@@MischiefMakerTV I might be a little partial given that 2 of mine are CJ.
I think the CJ's are awesome vehicles so I totally get it
MONSTER WHEELS 🌶🌶 New kid for sure!
Doing a great job keep up the good work.
Thank you so much, Phil!
New combo is going to deliver in the rocks and just about everywhere you point & shoot your rig. The Baja's do make good floating tires for sand and snow wheeling, many up here wheel with them in the deep snow and stay up top. New tires and wheels are going to give you more fun.
I agree and can't wait to see how the new 46s perform!
Gridlock and mischief maker are basically twins on thrvtrails
I like the new double bead lock MTs. ….with Mischief Maker crawling on top of them.
Enjoying your daily podcast. Have been thinking about doing the same enjoy your content. Love the intro
Thank you! That took forever to get right, and I’m so pleased that you like it 😊
The new tiers and rims .
Definitely the New kid on the block. 👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲👍🇬🇧
Nic, I would say I like the tire that performs best in the trail brother! Love your Jeep. Mischief Maker is no slouch either!! Goals😎
Стена с болтами - forever🤘
Double beadlocks are sweet. If you don’t have them just run some gorilla tape on the inside of your inner bead before you mount the tire. Run 4psi with 43” sx’s with.no issues. Same kmc wheels Mischiemaker has.
Those wheels look amazing
You’ll enjoy them better if you balance them properly... I run 46 inch claws on 20X14 Staz works double bead locks and I spun and balanced mine nearly perfectly. I’ve messed with the balancing beads and didn’t enjoy them.
That’s my favourite jeep on the internet. It’s epic.
Jimmy Paulgaard yeah, I never bother to balance mine at all. That’s awesome that you managed to get them nearly perfect without using a ton of weights! It’s such a heavy tire
Definitely the new kid on the block!
New kids on the block for sure! Love the double beadlocks, informative too!! I just finished putting my beadlocks together, might go with a double now tho, looks good!
Yeah, Who knew you could get a regular beadlock converted to a double beadlock? If I needed it, I’d definitely consider converting mine. 🙂👍🏻
I prefer the look of the Baja Claw.
It’s definitely a good looking tire, but I’m keen to see how they compare on the rocks!
awesome video and great wheeling you have a beautiful jeep we love the fact you always look like you have no fear to try any course especially when you are 3 wheels climbing saw you on litebrite so happy you have a channel now keep up the great work #STAYWHEELING AND STAY SAFE
Thank you so much for your kind worked! Can’t wait to get the Jeep back and head on out to the east coast to show you guys what he can do 🙌🏻
New tires with double beadlock are definitely the better-looking tire and wheel. I mean, really, those tires are just mean looking! My question is, who is going to run the 58-inch ones?
New Kid on the block!!
Miguel M AGREED‼️
New Kid on the block for sure!
PhatboyHD88 😎🤙🏻
Pro XS ... i run the 43x15x17's and have aired down to 4 psi with no beadlocks and have zero issues
14:17 nice fart 😂😂😂😂 I love claws but the new ones look insane
New looks great
Totally!
For a lot baja pro xs!🚜
Lower air pressure will ware out your side walls faster it may give you a bigger patch surface on the ground but side walls get hot an break down faster .
New kid on the block Mickey Thompson pro XX all day
i do love the OG rims but i do like the new tires
Yeah, I’m also team powder coat, and After seeing what the Pro XS 43s can do on a friends rig, I’m super excited to see how these 46s do! 🤩
Digging the videos! My vote is for the new MT (new kid on the block)
Adam Pfeifer thanks, Adam! Can’t wait for the triumphant return of TITAN (on Mickeys and KMC, of course) 😎
whichever one works the best. They both look great. Now with the corona virus here, you can also plow fields.
Sorry I can’t hear you....... I’m plowing 🚜 🤣🤣
I would be happy with either one
Love your rig.
Thanks, Fred! 😀🤙🏻
I had a set of Claws so I'm feeling nostalgic but running the new-ish Baja Boss has me partial to the Pro XS.
kswyg I really think the Baja Boss and Boss sticky are the best tires they make. Still love the Pro X and the Pro XS, but if MM wasn’t a dedicated trail rig, I’d probably go with Bosses 😎👍🏻
Love the new ones can I have your old ones .LOL
🤣🤣🤣
Very cool no doubt have to let us know how they ride I didn't even know they made a street version of that tire. I ran three sets of Mickey claws on a TJ and currently MTZ P3 on a JK.
Definitely an interesting design compared to anything else I've seen over the years.
Definitely give them some consideration if/when the time comes. The compound is still pretty soft for a DOT tire, and the tread... 😍😍
It seems a shame to get them dirty now 😂 they look great 👍
They are gonna see some serious damage in 2020. GRDLOC is finally hitting the East Coast this year! 😁
If you haven't brought it to Adventure Offroad Park you should bring it and make a video of it on one of the black trails. That would make for a great video.
AOP is one of my favs. Been there 2x and can’t wait to go back for more! Definitely some of the hardest trails ever (especially those new ones on the Norther end of that park 🤩
Looks amazing to me.
I’m with Holly…..new kid.👍🏻
New kid on the block #1
New Kid on the block for sure
Like for the Sushi alone!
Time to upgrade to those 46s
MischiefMaker? Lol
Wow! Those rims tho!!! 😳 so so sweet!
Yeah...and the fact that they are custom double beadlocks is 🔥🔥
Looks good I wish I had a rig half as Wheel able as yours
Pro XS for the Win 👍
New kid on the block hands down
Luv those massive baja tyres and your eyes too
I can’t take credit for the tires, but I grew the 👀 myself 😂
Those new Mickey Thompson pro xs are exactly the tire i am using on my build it would be awesome if you could give us your thoughts on them as this is a big chunk of my build budget
Anthony Jensen we are taking a run to Sand Hollow next week and want to wait until then. I didn’t even really share my opinion on the Pro X until I had run them for months. It’s a shame how many ‘ambassadors’ will mount a new set of tires and talk about ‘how great’ they are 20 seconds later. Look for another video later this month once Nic actually puts them through some abuse 😈🤙🏻
Thanks for the response one other question i am building a 65 merc m500 that started as a 2.5 ton but is now on a 60 / sterling from a 02 ford i have trussed both axles and am keeping the 300 six total weight should be about 6000 lbs is the 46 too much for the 60 ?
Changing tires on a vehicle will never change the wheelbase (distance between front + rear axles).
Track is the width between wheels.
I'm liking the new pro XS new kid on block🤙🤙
Gotta say it's a good looking tire even though I love my Baja claws. But will need to see them innaction
I can’t wait to see them in action too and they awesome thing is.... we won’t have to wait long at all!! I’ll keep you posted 🤟🏻
The new kids on the block
For sure! 😀🤙🏻
46” Mickey Thompson Baja Pro XS
Love your jeep
Thank you so much William ☺️
Wow, and wow... super sexy new wheels!!!
CK Killinger 😀🤙🏻
New kid definitely
😀🤘🏻
Baja claw look best
Jku Stockaphobia I do like the way they look! BUT there is another member of the Rockstar team that runs the Baja Pro XS 43 and they hook up so well! (Almost as well as my stickys)
Pro XS's all day long brother!!! 💯
😎🤘🏻
New kid on the block
New kid, they are great looking.
Yes!!!!!!! I’m all for that new kid!!
