Pinip Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) i have friends that put tubes on their trucks ... i mean their tires( not for playing )... to go in woods... i wonder if it is still an advantage, considering the tires on the market ?

GrimGreg Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I have seen some offroaders carry tubes to throw in a tire that they slash on the trail, but usually there is no need for them in modern tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinip Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) ...probably...i have seen tires deflating due to side pressure near the rim... ''is that what ,blowing out the bead'' means ?...but i do not quite understand '' is it for airing down "... is it deflate a tire like to 12psi to get more adherence in sand like ? if so i find the idea interesting...

beavis0076 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yea, when driving off road in mud, sand, or snow it is a good ideato drop your tire pressure... i go to 15psi.... but the lower you go, the better the traction. However you run the risk of dropping so much pressure the sidewall of the tire loses its contact with the rim and the tire deflates.... i could see an intertube helping that situation... and same for Gregs thought.

Pinip Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 do they also use diesel in their gasoline trucks? ...Just a little... it has 2 goods aspects : it cleans the valves and it makes just enough smoke to get the bugs and moskitos away for a while, depending of the season !

This is an old school method of internal beadlocks. it works, but not very good. If you push the tire off the bead, you won't loose air. downside, is if you push the tire off the bead, you might get something inside and puncture the tube.

GrimGreg Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 downside, is if you push the tire off the bead, you might get something inside and puncture the tube. Or pinch the tube against the bead and blow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
