To Beadlock for Winter or not Beadlock for Winter

Beadlocks have like what appears to be a Powdercoat on it, not shiny paint. One of my buddies Nick on here lives in Rhode Island runs them year round. I want to run the nice aggressive Cooper ST/MAXX tires for the winter. Thoughts? Should I take the rings off now and then to make sure no build up of salt ans such is behind them?

 

I run those wheels all year. With the ring still on.For just dd street driving they are fine. When I go back in the woods to do some snow wheeling the tend to collect the snow pretty good and I have to clean them out once I hit higher speeds again.

 

Thanks in all pretty much highway. You do anything to the screws like never seize

 

Nope. Took the rings off once to see how it looked and then put them back on. Never touched the screws again.

If you are worried about snow getting in there I have my long handled snow brush that I clean my truck off with that fits in there pretty well. Thats what I use.

 

Sweet thanks

 

those are gonna look nice on there ! hey any idea yet on shipping price on 5100s yyet? ust checkin. thanks again

 

no problem.

 

Shit man sorry I forgot about them in the box in the back of the truck

 

lol that's ok just let me know when you can. thanks

 

I can tell you that box is heavy man. Could possibly be near 100.00 bucks. You still in if so?

 

ill sure give it a try!iv got sum funds set aside so i think ill be in still?

 

My motto is " if it's free it's for me. "

 

lol.

 

Once I'm done here I'll take the other wheels out of my truck, tape up the box and go to UPS and get a quote

 

ok thanks

 

very nice!

 

Ran mine for 4 years now through Kansas rain, snow, and salt roads. Never had a problem. Snow can get packed in the ring wheel part. But I've never had a balancing problem.
