Bead Damage - Think these will hold air?

[nitrobass24]

Got some Rivian Take offs and was going to throw them on, but 1 of them has some bead damage. Curious what you guys think?

Triple nope. Tires are the only thing that makes contact with the ground, and that one is fux0rd.

Do not cheap out there.

That's a big nope ! Too much damage. What did they do, use tire spoons with sharp edges?

The first pic does not appear serviceable. The second pic would be serviceable...
The critical portion of the bead is the round outermost surface with enough on either side of the round outermost surface to ensure good contact with the tire rim. Pic one just looks too far gone.

@nitrobass24 Definite damage to the bead bundle. I would recommend a new tire for sure.

Just for my personal education, could you run one like that 1st one with bead lockers? My gut says no but my gut has been wrong before.

Those are trash, particularly the first one of which there's zero question as to the risk that catastrophic blowout poses.

Nope - beadlockers serve a different purpose, they don't mitigate a bead that's damaged like that one.

Thank you. I’d just seen them on some YouTube videos so I wasn’t sure if that was in their wheelhouse or not.
