Hell, just run them. Most cops don't know what's illegal past speed and stop signs.

EXACTLY.

Most cops dont know **** about cars either. I got pulled over in the PSD because the cop said I didnt stop completely. I told him that with a diesel engine, to put it into first gear the tires must not be in motion. He agreed.

Yep gotta love them ricers and its funny how Fast and the Furious made NOS a household name. "I need NOS!" My vehicle topped out at over 145 mph." "Beginers don't use nitrous oxide! I've seen the way you drive you have a heavy foot, you'll tear yourself to pieces." "I don't care! And Don, make it two!" LOL That movie is hilariously stupid! I like it when people say they want NOS. Just say nitrous oxide unless your talking about the company N.O.S (Nitrous Oxide Systems).

The whole reason that beadlocks are not concidered safe is because when only partilly inflated and you down the road and hit an pot hloe tha tires will compress and the tire can blow out the retaining rind out the side and driver will lose all control at 45mph+ It can be really bad then a person is riding 38'' + tires and lose the air from the tire it can flip the truck Info fropm the 4wheel& offroad mag a couple years ago

I got a set of double beadlocks. there is no way for me to loose a tire or a bead while driving down the road unless a weld breaks off. Then that could be possible with any tire.
