A friend of mine has the Stauns. He's quite happy with them. I've seen him air his 42's down to 2psi. I've read that they are a bit of a PITA to install though.

I can also say that compared to disassembling the Hutchinson beadlocks, it's probably a breeze.

We have lots of customers and we run them in our Jeeps.

They are awsome and have had no issues to date.

Install tips to minimize complications. I would imagine that this should be done at a tire shop, right??

I dont believe the AEVs are internal. You might have a look at them. I just know a ton of locals run them on their Jeeps and love em.
