Thanks...the best advice/counsel comes from where the rubber meets the road. (Pun Intended)I have only had them down to 18 lbs. so far. The tires grip like glue. No need for anything more yet.
Before I ordered the wheels, I talked to a nice guy who worked at Method. I was considering the lighter 313s over the bead grip 703s, but, he spent the time to convince me even though the 313s are more money. He told me he has the bead grips on his side by side, and they hit a big tree root at speed in the dunes. When they checked the rig, the only thing they could find is that the tire had lost two lbs... It went down from 8 lbs to 6 lbs. Evidently, the hit was hard enough to only burp the tire, but, not unseat it. He chalked up that result to the bead grip technology. Sounded pretty good to me.
Note: When they mounted my Goodyear MTRs (37"), they first mounted on the internal bead. It took significant air pressure to make the tires pop out to the outside bead. I have never seen anything like that before, and I took it as a very good sign of what the wheels can do.
Here is a pic of the inside of the wheel that I took before mounting.
