I just got a set of new tires in and they shipped with no air in them. They appear to be seated on the bead alright but I was just wondering if there is anything I need to do other than put air in them to make sure they are seated properly? Rears are beadlocks and fronts aren't, if that matters.

I would reference your stock rims/tires and see how the tires are fully seated to the rim. If your new rims seem to stick out wider than your stock rims when looking at the tires, you probably still need to fully seat the bead of the tire onto your rim. The rim should recess itself inside the tire... Or in other words, the tire should cover the top of the rim. Obviously, this does not apply to the side of the beadlock.

Best wishes on your new rims and tires! :)

Thanks for the replies. I am going to see how they hold air tonite.
