    I have a 2019 Toyota Tacoma offroad. I've ran the beadlocks on the truck and they were starting to shred the threads off of it. Does anyone have any suggestions to help out. Anything would help. Thanks

    Beadlocks are not for highway. Low speed off road low pressures. Only.

    He might be talking about the bolts holding the fake bead lock rings on the rims.

    Pictures of the problem would help.

    Fake bead locks should have no issues unless they are abused.

    I know what @hiPSI is talking about.
    No idea what you mean by “starting to shred the threads off of it.”

    hiPSI is talking about that most real beadlock wheels are not DOT approved. He probably did not know you were talking about the TRD fake beadlock wheels.

    So to summarize, "My wheels that have a faux retaining ring commonly known as a bead lock, is damaging my tire at the sidewall that contacts the faux ring."

    You mentioned beadlocks. I responded properly for real beadlocks. Apparently you are running fake beadlocks. Big difference.

    Real beadlocks can shred tires at high speed with normal pressure.
    Fake beadlocks? The bolts don't even go through the rim and I have no idea what you are talking about.
    I have ran both.

    It’s pulling the threads out of the mounts for the rings?
