Bead locks and Megabites

[BADXP]

System 3 SB-6 with 32” Tusk Megabites. Just got everything done so no feedback on tire performance yet. Stock combo weighed 55 pounds each and new combo weighs 57.5 - super happy with the lack of weight gain. Also added Gilomen tune and performance clutch kit.

Those look great and I really like the new combo weight! Those new wheels must be super light compared to the stock wheels or the stock tires are heavy for their size?

Thanks! Not sure where the weight sits on the stockers as I haven’t taken the tires off the rims. I think the bare S3 wheel was 18 pounds on the scale.

Looks sharp! I’m definitely liking the Gilomen Tune and clutch kit. Would be good to hear your impressions on it.

I am really impressed with it. Great power increase. Immediate hookup and no more belt slap with the clutch kit. Also pleased with the service - I sent my computer in and it was back on my porch the second business day later.

Nice tires but a little light on load capacity at 638 lb per tire. That’s why I decided to stay with pro armors around 1300 per tires .

They are 1k load per tire at 22 psi. Not sure where you got your information.

How are the Megabites wearing? Got lots of miles on them? I am thinking about Megabites for my Xpedition after I get the SATV long travel kit installed. Wonder if the 34x10x15" will fit? Are you Megabites true to size or smaller? Thanks

I have same machine and rims. My stock Pro Armors sidewall just started bubbling and a pinhole leak. I’d like to know how you like those tires…

They wore really well and never had a puncture or flat in 2500 miles. Plenty of tread left but just replaced them with the Obor Lynx. No complaints on megabites but they have a more rounded profile and I personally prefer more of the square profile so I switched when I found a deal on the Lynx. If I remember correctly they measured 31.5”. Seemed to be a good all around tire and not too heavy.

Obor Lynx is nice looking. 32" tire shows weight limit of 606. 35" shows slightly over 850 lbs
I have the SATV long travel kit, heavy rock sliders and skid plate. Also carry 200 lbs of tools. Also heavier tires and beadlocks. Two people is another 330 lbs. I guess around 3500-3600 lbs. Doesn't appear none of Obor's tires have enough load capacity for me?

I think that is the 8 ply rating - I bought the 10 ply but don’t recall what the weight rating is that is on the sidewall.

You running 35s? If so how tall are they?
Any rubbing?

I have the 32 also measuring 1/4-1/2 short. I figured you might be looking at larger with the long travel so sent the link for those.
