I don't have a problem (yet) with pealing beads, but definitely a problem with air "burping" at single digit pressures. Local guy has a deal on (4) stuans in good-new shape for about 1/2 or less new price. Very tempting (even though I have better things to spend my money on). Other option is weld-ons of whatever flavor which would be similar price, but more work.
Opinions? I like the idea of the Stuan for the double beadlock and I can move them from wheel to wheels should I change rims style, but my only experience with them is web-wheeling.
Weld-ons are stupid simple and bullet-proof and proven, but does nothing for the inside bead and is a one-time shot.
So given cost being a (basic) wash, which way would you go? Rig weights 4500lbs (heavier than I thought, it will be going on a diet), used for general wheeling and tuff-truck style racing/bashing. 35 x 13.5 x 15" Krawlers (blue) currently on 15x8 steelies. Like I said, good bead retention, but still burp air too frequently for my taste.
