sheerider11 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I love my hipers. I got mine for a steal locally. As far as psi, shit. Maybe 2 or 3 in the rear and 5 up front. I can run zero and not worry about the tire falling off. If I want to swap from my paddles to a dirt tire it takes only a few minutes per tire.

06BCBANSHEE Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I think this is gonna be my next purchase as well. The ease if tire swapping is worth it alone. what do you guys recommend 8'' or 9'' if your running 18'' and 20'' tire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06BCBANSHEE Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 seems like their is more tire options for the 9'' rims tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjdgriff Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 My bike with bead locks My bike without bead locks 20-11-9 tire and wheel size Those are the tech3 bead locks, the only thing that I have had a problem with is they didn't want to seal without using bead sealer on them... And if you tighten the rings over 11-12 ft lbs they don't want to seal right. And remember when you put the rings on, tighten them in a circular motion, NOT a cross pattern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 12 is a ton! JEEZUS! Beadlocks aren't needed but sweet if funds allow. There is a happy medium though. Check out the Baja locks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had jacked up bead tired mounted up in mine quite a bit and never had an issue sealin up. Never noticed any difference in how I tightened the ring either?

rjdgriff Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I had to put it between the tire and the wheel. I have been told that the way the Dunlap tires are ridged around the bead is the reason the did not want to seal without the bead seal.
