Caution: Traction systems used on a vehicle without the proper amount of clearance can cause damage to the brakes, suspension or other vehicle parts. The area damaged by the traction device could cause you to lose control of your vehicle and you or others may be injured in a crash. Beadlock wheels or vehicles with military option code EMP should not be used with tire chains or other similar belt or strap traction system. There is not enough clearance.

If the vehicle features Option Code EMP (Enhanced Mobility Package) it will feature special rubber beadlocks, made exclusively for use on multi-piece wheels. This device fits securely between the tire beads and positively locks the tire to the wheel rim flange. Beadlocks allow vehicle operation 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 ensure 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. Replace with the same type, style or size as originally equipped or the beadlock wheels may not function properly. For tire pressures see Capacities and Specifications in the Index.
