Beadlock Mounting & Tire Selection Tips

[@billrussell7672]

thank you I am a 40 year mechanic never have been around beadlockers, thanks for the education

[@VitoF111]

Thanks for recording this. It's the best beadlock "How To" I've seen.

[@robarell3758]

Wow! This was the most informative video I've ever seen for bead locks. I feel like I was in class. Nice job!

[@logancannon458]

i guess im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot my login password. I would love any tips you can offer me

@Logan Cannon Instablaster :)

[@logancannon458]

@Kendall Augustine i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@logancannon458]

@Kendall Augustine it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much, you really help me out !

[@kendallaugustine13]

@Logan Cannon You are welcome =)

[@ClumsyGamerGuy]

would you go into more detail about the bubble balancer I'm in the process of building a pro street possible just straight drag car. and have watch a lot of your videos so informative. thank you please don't stop making these

[@DavidLeslie65]

Looking to go bead lock on our Jeep and your video had the most information and details about the subject

[@benjamins9121]

You doing some rock crawling? If not I'd suggest not doing it, makes mounting tires a bigger PITA

[@brianmathew09]

thanks Tim..i just bough my first pair of beadlocks....this info is just what i was looking for!

[@alhailalhail8645]

Thanks alot for the informative videos. Learned alot from all your videos. I will make sure that next time i buy parts i will get them from you.

[@turbosupra2jzdragracingtob249]

Ty. I like to see more on balancing these tires. Ty

[@CarsandCats]

Thank you for this comprehensive video. You are a wealth of information.

[@daevid21]

I don’t even own a car why am I watching this

[@megaexmax2270]

You may leave.

[@Traderhood]

That’s the best comment I read today. Cracked me up. :-)

[@jaydriven5874]

David Stevenson you will own one one day

[@TheLocalBomber1]

For future reference

[@lancejohnson5748]

Thanks I ran Pro Mod a little in the mid 90s things a lot faster and more expensive but still love it !!!

[@mf7133]

Do you have any tips for Radials ? And it would by nice if you could teach us about tire compounds (wich compound for which car and track conditions) and the difference between M/T or Goodyear or Hossier tires :) Thanks ! Greetings from germany

[@ldnwholesale8552]

Horses for courses. Track, weather, power output. Both Goodyear and Hoosier really only have limited no of heat cycles before they have nothing. But both are very good tyres for the well heeled. This is applicable to drag, dirt, road racing. Some other brands have more heat cycles but probably are not quite as good initially. Of the two my preference is Hoosier but not by much. And that is dirt and road racing. But I am sure applicable to drags as well. And driving any race tyre on the street is both dangerous and making that tyre hard real quick!

[@dawhoda1]

@@ldnwholesale8552 just say tire once lol

[@christiantroy7722]

Great information well explained thanks for the great work on the video

[@tillman40]

The difference in rollout is also known as tire stagger

[@604cuinkillah]

So you stretch the tire with air pressure to match the set. Now after a few passes (each pass) when the rollout changes, how do you adjust? Air pressure again?

[@williampaoli9057]

Dam I learned so much and every minute I wanna just go watch something else but he keeps blowing my mind

[@ryanjohnson4670]

What electric driver is that I am looking for a small one like that.

[@starbattles1]

WOW... thank you so much. Glad I watched this before I order my drag wheels and tires.

[@Dodgegizmo]

How do you do a 15x15 double beadlock with 6" backspacing?

[@robbyking8756]

Wow someone who actually knows how much pressure is supposed to go in a race tire

[@michaelcasella4774]

What are some remedies for a different size problem you have a few passes on them? Just buy another set?

[@michaelfritsche4023]

Over inflate the smaller one and wait. Recheck Rolll out. Drag tries are sold in inch sizes. Mount and check, ajust. I did tires for Bruce Littion and JR Todd

[@slowpoke96Z28]

How long should they stay at 12 before dropping pressure to measure rollout?

[@bobhilly546312156332]

Do they make narrower bead locks in the 5x5.5 bolt pattern the only wheels I’m finding are 5x4.5 when I look

[@moparnutjim]

Measure the backspace from the BACK !

[@mothridith9760]

He did

[@flinch622]

So... 12% to 15% crush, give or take. Nice attention to detail. Would you say 10% is bare minimum, or is that not likely to hold?

[@Thirdgen83]

Bolt pattern is measured center to OUTSIDE on a 5-lug wheel. Center to center in all others.

[@turdferguson9190]

No

[@joshuablot4585]

Nice technique with the tire spoons!

[@Max-yg6gs]

Super helpful stuff

[@Fatbalddude1]

What if when you Torque it to 20 Ft. Lbs.......you don't have your .100" with the .800" Bead Goodyear, or the .120" with the .780" Bead M/T?

[@Semnyi]

Hi, i have been enjoying the videos. The torque spec must specify the use of anti-seize? I am used to passenger cars where I am encouraged not to use anti seize on bolts as it will effect the torque value. Thanks

[@slowpoke96Z28]

@@michaelfritsche4023 on beadlock bolts? N9 way. You must mean the lugnuts.

[@MrElPoderozo1]

Thanks for the video. I have a question for you if I may. You said that you will bring the tire down to 6# but my question to you is how do you determine the correct tire pressure for your car? How do you know what you really need? I mean we get 6# but how do you determine if you need 7 1/2 instead, thanks.

[@josephschaefer9163]

Use a tire pyrometer for setting tire pressure perfectly. Otherwise it's guess work by looking at the tire footprint and seeing how the car handles and how the tire wears

[@starbattles1]

It's called test and tune. And lining out the car.

[@slowpoke96Z28]

@@josephschaefer9163 details?

[@josephschaefer9163]

@@slowpoke96Z28 a tire pyrometer is a temperature probe for tires. Do a hot lap, then measure tire temps on the center and near both edges of the tread. The hotter places have more contact with the pavement. Adjust tire pressure, camber, and car corner weight to get even temps

[@josephschaefer9163]

@@slowpoke96Z28 for drag racing, you might get great 60 ft times with lower tire pressure, but the car can get unstable at high speeds. Be careful and adjust gradually

So you don’t run innertube’s in your tires?

[@reallybadaim118]

Not my favorite chore but very informative. Thanks

[@mckeehan1943]

Back in the day we use to pen the tire to the rim with metal screws

[@GFPRACING]

All the Very Best

[@bmkolb]

Lug center -Use a hose clamp adjust till inside of all holes measure hose clamp add one lug hole size of rim to get center line dimension

It could be use for offroad

Yes. And that is also the color of the beadlock.

no tubes?

Social Civilian ?

[@noboatrequired6895]

That is center to center of the stud pattern. It should be measured across two holes center to center of the holes. NOT the diameter. 5 on 5 is 5" between centers of two holes.

[@daevid21]

AKillerTuna ROASTED

[@josephschaefer9163]

If you measure between the centers of the two holes it's like a quarter inch less so it's easy to figure out what it is

[@unavailableusername9694]

This would be much better without all of the "One thing a lot of guys miss", or "Something a lot of people forget" bullshit. Just do the instructional video without all the condescending bullshit. If as many people missed all the shit you say they do, then you would be the only racer with working beadlocks.
