Any of you with beadlocks have this issue?
I have one dam tire that keeps leaking down.. I dunked it in a tank, and it has a slow leak from the bead..
What’s the best fix?

Someone here posted this link, it's what I bought but haven't used, so no feedback.

You might try pulling the bead lock and tire and check for damage to the tire bead, the rim bead or the bead lock, after that slime, I guess.

Chase all the threads before you even mount a tire. Any debris in the threads throws off the torque wrench.

Good point, all 64 of mine were full of powder coat (STI HD9). :oops: Glad Lil_Steve called my attention to it before the shop mounted my tires.

I also apply anti seize to the bolts?

I also used anti seize on mine when I mounted them up. I have Fuel wheels and really like the ability to air down!!

I have sti hd9s and the locks had loosened and it took me an entire day to get the beads centered and stay centered while I torqued the locks down. It's super easy to pinch the bead on these. That would be my guess, is it needs to be reset.

sair them to max pressure in a very quiet location and you can here them seep sometimes. Torque the bolts in the center of the leak then make sure they have all been torqued appropriately
