16x10 rims and 305/70r16

Post by woodiesGU »

Is any one running the 305 on 16x10'rims. I was thinking of runing them in BF mudies but told at low psi that they will come off the beads.
is this true.

For about 6 years.

Any tyre will come off the bead at low psi if you corner hard.

I've never had a problem with MTZ's on MT Classic locks, never gone under 10psi though, didn't need to. That is in a lighter 4runner though, which probably helps. But that does include rosster tails from a supercharged V8 in the sand :D

I've seen BFG All Terrains cheese cutters pop off the bead on stocko 3 times in one trip on 6" wide rims, so I think there's more to just rim width.

The "bead protector" on BFG Mt's and At's from memory became a bit of a bead breaker at lower pressures due to the way it interacts with the lip of the rim (forcing the bead bundle away from the edge of the rim)

I was just on the bf web site and its saying that the widest rim to use is 9.5" and the mt web site is saying that 10"rim is the widest rim for the 305 tyres.
