P1000 To Bead or Not to Bead

[CSmock]

Looking to upgrade to 15 inch wheels and LT tires (same size all around) with the wide track bundle. Most of my riding is country roads and working on my property. It appears to be difficult to find a 15 inch wheel with 0 offset that isn't beadlock. Don't mind paying a lil more for beadlocks and would like the liberty to air down when riding at Windrock, etc. Would you all have any concerns running beadlocks on county roads on a regular basis with speeds of about 50 mph???

Not really needed for LTs on country roads, but no issues at all running them.

Only reason I run beadloks with my LT tires is because I can swap tires with little extra effort or special tools.

Note that beadlocks aren't DOT approved in many places. I like mine but I can't plate here so DOT isn't necessary for me. I've run well over 50 in the desert regularly and desert racers aren't shy about exceeding 50 on BLs.

I run bead locks on paved roads all the time. Speeds in the 70’s occasionally

So that's 70mph on the trailer, to get it fixed again

21/2 years? Is that metric or something?
