If you’re not an off-road fanatic, you may have heard the term ‘beadlock-capable wheels’ or ‘beadlock wheels’ in relation to preparing a car for going off road. This refers to a rather special type of wheel that’s used in scenarios where especially low tire pressure is required to deal with rough terrain. “Locking the bead” is necessary to prevent the tire from slipping off the rim, and in situations where conventional rims won’t work, this is where beadlock wheels come in – equipment you can find on cars like the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392.
