The beadlock system can only be used on multiple-piece wheels. This device fits securely between the tire beads and positively locks the tire to the wheel rim flange. Beadlocks allow vehicle operations at the low tire air pressure conditions required for better mobility in mud, sand and snow. By reducing the air pressure, the tire footprint is increased significantly, thus allowing a greater area of traction or contact. The beadlock also performs as a safety device to insure that the tire does not "unseat" from the rim or rotate on the wheel at these low air pressure settings, while also preventing the entry of foreign objects, debris or water into the tire’s air chamber. It is used in conjunction with the tire pressure monitoring system.

The replacement tire for the beadlock rim is a LT 285/75 R16 Goodyear.
