What do you mean tby "big sizes"??
and when is the "yet"??
Killeraxle, these are designed and built by an australian company, they are similar to a tireloc, but have some better features about them and are a fair bit cheaper!

Yeah i cant see there being much of a demand for the size he is after
It would be nice however if that tyre and rim combo were readily available in aus at the right price

I think he was talking about the Tirelock tube its self. The Second Air also has a tube.
Roger Smith has been producing and selling these for a few months now.
$199 is recomended retail everywhere.
Bigballs sells them online as well-

is there a reason why the yanks with all their us dollars don't use these beadlocks
i have seen that they use hummer double beadlocks?
is it a strength or bling factor

i got some 2 weeks ago paid about 1k for the set.... got stung with a $35 per tyre install fee they take about 1hr per wheel so i guess i got a way withit on the cheap side....
Oh yeah they rock!!!

Yes, i was talking about the Tiretube itself.

The yanks using hummer double beadlock because they are cheap (50$US rim and runflat ass.) and they do their job better than any other system.

i think that these would be a right pain in the arse.
Imagine if you had to change a couple tyres over out bush?
they need to be trail repairable, thats why the tried and true weld/bolt up beadlocks are the best!
tyre removal and installation is pis easy with normal beadlocks, especially if you have onboard air and a rattlegun!

secondair = legal
external beadlocks = illegal
thats all the justification for me when i hit some barina in the city and the cops / insurance see beadlocks on the truck and i'm left with no truck or insurance and a big hole in my wallet to buy a new barina

Hey Roly,
The external beadlocks are just as illegal as your lift & tyre size, arn't they ?

Ah, It all become plain as day now.
Beadlockers are only run on the weekend as an "off-road" tyre thing and during the week the legal rims for creaming Barinas are placed back on the environmentaly aware vehicle. Insurance friendly rims are in demand....
Tongue in cheek here.....

I just bought a set of 15x10 second airs from Fourbys in Brisbane for $219 each. Also bought some 38"x12.5"x15"TSLs for $479each also.
Great guys to deal with. Ask for Robbie.

Ruff, why did you choose them over external bead locks, is it for road use as well ?
Posted: Wed Oct 15, 2003 8:32 pm

I will drive them on the road but the main reason is they hold both beads and in competition if i happen to steak a tyre i should be able to continue on the inner beadlock tube to complete a course. Also if i want to change rim styles i can keep the beadlock.
Also they dont stand out as much as a "normal" beadlock does so the chances of getting pulled over running 38" Tyres on road is slightly less.
