Going from a non beadlock to a beadlock did you have to adjust your air pressure?

So you went to Hoosier tire same time you went to Beadlocks? From my experience the Hoosiers like less air.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

I`ve had 10 PSI in my Hoosiers on bead locks for the past 2 years and have`nt dropped a pound. Bead locks seal better than regular rims. When racing, i run 7 PSI.
