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.

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
