KS240 Recon Beadlock 14×7 4/156 Gun Metal – Gloss Black Ring +38 Wheel

The KS240 Recon UTV wheel, by KMC Wheels, blends a split five-spoke design with beadlock performance to create a dynamic look for any UTV or side-by-side. What are beadlock wheels and why should I consider them? Beadlock wheels clamp the bead of the tire to the wheel though the use of a beadlock ring and a series of bolts. This type of wheel was originally developed for military vehicles, allowing them to run lower air pressure and handle larger torque loads. What that means for you? By airing down your tires you increase the tread patch of your tire that makes contact with the ground meaning you get more traction. The downside to airing down your tires on traditional non-beadlock wheels is that the tire can come loose from the wheel and leave you stranded. A beadlock prevents that from happening and allows you to conquer any terrain and adventure further.
