I won a $300 GC from USA6x6 at the spring run this year with the Midwest K5 Thing crowd in Arkansas, I decided to use it on these inserts!

What do you guys think!??? I'll have the choice to keep these and run them - or run a set of magnesium runflats. I'll be running my 42" TSLs with my Hummer rims that should be here in a week or two.

What would you guys suggest? I often thought I'd run the mag. run flats... because they shouldn't bind with the 42s unless I run something like <4-5 psi.

So, I'll leave it to you all. What do I do!???

Dan, those look like those big plastic pipes they use in plumbing and sewers, etc. True? If so, how thick are they and whats the diameter of them assembled? I may talk to my bro-in-law and see if he can get me some from his work for cheap. /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
Dan, As you know I am running my 42's on hummer rims with the mag runflat/beadlock. I haven't experienced a problem so far. The only issue I have trying to get them balanced. Do you have a set for Magnesium runflats already? If not, then use the inserts. However if you do, then I would recommend running the Mag's. I like the way they bolt together better and if you have to you can still run on the wheel until you can get to where you can repair the tire.

Resemble is about it, Sewer lines have no business being that thick and new sewer line is green. Water line is blue unless its small stuff, meaning not a water main. Useless info. I know but hey..... what did you expect /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Here's my only problem man... If I were to air down low enuf to binf one of the tires on the insert, and I killed a tire that way... I'd be ULTRA pissed. Ya know? Nothing like killin a perfectly good 42" TSL! /forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

Whats the harm in running these inserts really? Nothing that I can imagine!??? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

KO Maybe this is a stupid question but, all that I've heard about these critters is that they're used in Hummer rims that are split, right? So why do these pvc sections come in two pieces per wheel?? Honestly I don't know I'm just curious. Thanks in advance.

I run them in my usa6x6 civilan double beadlocks. They are not regular PVC that you can buy anywhere.. Daniel as them made special for him in 2- foot sections.. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
I have those inserts on my Hummer wheels with 42s. Apparantly he has sold tons of them with no problems so far.
 
There are 8 of them in that pic, so that works out to less than $40 each. Not too bad, really. Try finding PVC that size and see what it costs, then add in the amount of time it takes to cut them up and make the connecting plates.

No, what's funny is that he doesn't deliver to his paying customers, yet Dan got his for free and on time!

As pipe gets bigger diameter, the wall thickness has to go up to support the pressure rating. That is most likely normal schedule 40 PVC. They also make schedule 80 and 120 with even thicker walls. I would bet my Blazer that Daniel DOES NOT have that pipe specially made. 2 minutes on Google get this:

SCH 40 and 80 PVC specs
 
Yeah, if they were custom made they would be one piece, with maybe one opening so you could decrease the diameter with a ratchet strap to get it into the tire and eliminate a point of failure. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

All i was sayins is Water main line is blue, sewer is green. thats the main. Not pipe coming out of a pumpstation or water tower where naturally you do have to have a beefier pipe. Sewer main is some brittle, real thin stuff. Not pressurized so why make it heavy. Im just talking about the mains, not PVC in some industrial application
 
Hmm..I wonder....
