Bead Protectors

Seen these on sevaral Landies, and some not particularly challenge vehicles either.
The question i ask is `Are they an extreme activity accessory, or do they have a valid function on mostly road going with some offroad playtime vehicles?`
I like the look of them, but dont wanna look too posy

:nopics:

wot the hell are ya on about?:doh:

if however you mean beadlockers..they are only any good if ya do a lot of offroadin and want to run yr tyres at low pressures.

the rest of the time they serve no purpose

that sounds most likely, WL - will we ever know?

they do they look cool as ****!

equipe 4x4 do some, dont know the price
could they fit any wheel or does the wheel need mounting holes for it to bolt onto

they ar expensive and your rim will need a lot of work

as wilts stated, useless unless your running very low pressures over very rough terrain. They just stop your tyre rolling off the rim.

For the majority of people who do air down (a little and temporarily), these are not neccessary IMO.

G

really unless you are running a challenge vehicle or are planning doing something like the paris-dakar you dunt need them

Spot on WL - Bead Lockers.
Sorry for the confusion, I was told they were called bead protectors.
Ya can all stop guessin` now
Anyway I got the answer I was looking for. Cheers.
