  • Mud in bead

    Hey guys seeking some advice . The last few times I've been in the mud I have had mud in the bead and slow leaks. My wheels ate 17x9 speedy alloys with 265/70/17 bgf ats. Do you think my wheels are to wide? I'm only dropping them down to about 27psi. It's happens on different wheels also.

    Yeah mate, rims too wide.
    Most recommend upto 8.5" max for a 265
    But id recommend a 7-7.5 " for that width.
    Another factor is giving the tyre sufficient time set of the seat of the rim they use lube to set the bead this does dry out over a few weeks and makes a relatively good seal. Fail to do this not only will you get leaks but the only way to fix it is pull the rim off clean and re seat

      Thanks for that phs that's what I suspected . The tyre shop assured me they will be fine. Would I be able to solve this with a slightly wider tyre when it comes time to replace them or would one better off just getting the correct size wheels?

        Yes, wider rim means that the bead will open up when cornering. if you happen to be cornering in the mud or sand, the small particles can creep in.

        I would change the rim and not the tyre. A narrower tyre (of the same overall diameter) will outperform a wider tyre offroad.
