Well last month I was so happy when I was finally able to order up some ew tires for my blazer. I ordered a set of four 42" SXII's for a 15" rim. It took me awhile to be able to get them mounted. Mind you these wee going on 32 bolt beadlock wheels. I took the tires to a local tire shop to get them mounted. Once I was able to start bolting the rings on, I started having a problem with one tire. I couldnt for the world of me get to stay centered on the wheel. Since this is my first experience with beadlocks, I thought this was a normal problem. When I got it ready for air, it seemed the more air I put the more it would leak. I tried several times taking the bolts on and off, and redoing it. Finally m buddy mentioned that the bead might be broken. So I marked the area that was leaking, and took the ring off. When I grabbed the bead and pulled on it, it doubled over. So come to find out the bead is broken. I am told this an unrepairable break. I was able to get the guy to pay me for the tire, but NOBODY has this tire in stock anymore. Can you guys please check around and let me know what you find. I am finally done with the Blazer, but now I am rolling on three tires.
