When
driving offroad it is usual to lower your vehicles tire pressure for two
reasons:
1. For Comfort and a smoother ride
2. To lengthen or enlarge your tire’s footprint to give you greater
traction.
However, tire pressures below 18 psi run the risk of the tire either
rotating on the wheel rim or worse, it allows the tire to completely
deflate and come off the rim. These occurrences can lead to the problem
of dirt and mud entering the inner air chamber and causing resealing
tire bead problems.
 This
situation is easily overcome by fitting the Staun Internal Bead Lock, a
pneumatic bead lock that fits inside the tire. The Staun Internal Bead
Lock holds both tire beads onto the wheel rim via a separate low profile
tube that inflates to lock the tyre beads. An easily installed special
valve is fitted to the normal air valve hole to inflate the tube.
Now you have two separate air pressures, allowing you to control with
confidence the pressure you wish to run in the tire. Our tests showed
that even with zero pressure the tire stayed in position and full
control of the vehicle was maintained while also cushioning the tire
from the rim and minimising tire damage.
The Staun Internal Bead Lock provides distribution completely over and
around the wheel rim inside the tire, presenting no problems with wheel
balance and being inside the tire, it is unaffected by weather or damage
by rocky terrain. The Staun Internal Bead Lock can easily be fitted to
most one piece steel rims and tubeless tires.
