are beadlocks necessary?

[joewest]

I don't ride in the dunes. I pretty much just ride trails and fields. Should I get bead locks? Couple of my wheels are bent so I'll be getting a new set soon. What tire pressure should I run? I'm running 12 psi in all my tires currently.

[joewest]

Lol when I got my banshee it had fuckin 28psi and would spin like crazy. Still spins a lot. So I could safely run 6psi in the rears? (Without bead locks) what should I run in the front ?

 

Been looking at the hiper cf1's man there pricey tho. Looking at the it ss wheels also. They look heavy tho.

SS wheels will break instead of bending... They are very heavy too... I ran a set with street tires on my 450R, but would never run them for anything else

I don't even check the pressure half the time. But they don't have more that 5 in any of em. Fronts or rears. I just push on em and see how they feel. Too spongy I put some In them. But 12 is crazy. Half that is too much.

I run 4psi in all my tires

[joewest]

18x10 r9. When I get new rims I'm gonna get either 9 or 10 inch wheels tho and run 20's instead of the 18's. All I do is trail ride and I get stuck every where and all they do is spin. 12psi might be the reason it spins tho....

[joewest]

4psi is safe without bead locks?

Alright where is the cheapest place to pick up a set of hipers? Might just have to buy 1 or 2 at a time. Cheapest I've seen them is like 180 a piece. What is the difference between the cf1's and the tech 3's?

[joewest]

You can get both of them with bead locks. What do people dislike about hipers?

[joewest]

Any suggestions to where I can get the best price on some cf1's?

The cost. Other than that they are pretty sweet. Remember to put some sort of anti seize or a light thread lock on the bolts though so they don't seize in the captured bolts. If not you'll buy a wheel half when it breaks off.

So can ya tell when one has 6 and the other has 4 with that blingin suspension?

[Banshee Chad]

I run 4 psi on stock wheels and tires. 6 in my smoothies on blue labels, and 5 in my 21inch haulers on 8inch rims.

 

Beads are hard to break.
