Airing down is how an overlander finds traction on sand, rock and washboard, but on an ordinary wheel the tire bead can break loose at low pressure. For a Jeep, a lost bead ends the climb.
The Method 701 Bead Grip is a 17x9 wheel in Matte Black, with a 5x127 (5x5) bolt pattern and a -12 mm offset. Patented Bead Grip technology engages the tire bead for more grip at low pressures, and a safety hump on the bead seat helps keep the tire seated. It is cast from A356 aluminum with T6 heat treatment and rated for 2,650 lb.
Mount your tires, air down to suit the terrain, and go. The tire stays on the wheel when the trail gets rough.
