What’s wrong with a sufficient amount of rim screes on (what I would consider) a pretty fast car…..say around 150 MPH or slightly above? Are beadlocks really necessary, or has it become the “thing to do” on this type of application. I know some fast cars (150+) that are still running screws, as well as some not as quick 130+ cars running beadlocks. What’s the real deal?
Thx My understanding is the small tire guys use them because the tire tread width is narrower than the wheel. The Alc and Nitro, P/M and P/S (high growth tires) guys are using them more as a safety measure vs using a liner most everyone else is probably just for looks. I run an Alc tire so I have bead locks but have a set on non bead lock rims as well but if I get to needing a second set of mounted tires will send them out to be converted to bead locks, liners are a pita.
