Hey check out these Tube Bead Locks. They are awesome and cheaper than the stauns. I saw that one guy on a forum bought 4 15x10 or maybe 15x8 for $450.00. That’s a good price sorry I don't have a link to that forum I lost it in all the web sites I was searching. This is there web site www.innerairlock.comThis is a great Video on how well they work. Unless I find something else before winter this is what I'm buying. Does anyone have any input? There more chatter the better.

I like the theory - my only concern would be longevity of the product. If they are lasting at least 10 years - they might be a good deal - but if they are beginning to "erode" or fail in 2-3 years of regular use - I would probably have to go with the "more expensive" but longer lasting Trail Ready bead locks. www.trailready.com/dealers.htmlTrail Ready is also a local, Pacific Northwest based business - I always like to support local business when I can... Just my 2 cents. Crystal

I purchased some similar ones ( early production Stauns) in about 2004. They were Kevlar liners with inner tubes. These types of bead locks are/ was used by the Swedish Army trucks. I had multiple tube failures! About 8 failures before I gave up!
The edge of the liner was rubbing/ abrading the inner tube. The tubes are a custom design & are expensive/ hard to get. The Stauns have made an upgrade to the liners since then, so who know's about the increase in reliability!?
As for the bead locks you are considering, I have no info on them. I really like the idea of this type of bead lock, but the execution & reliability keep me from using them.
FWIW. I'm using double bead lock Hummer style ( split rim) for my truck now & don't plan on changing them.
