Default just mounted my avon 250
Just got done mounting my avon venom. I used dynaeads so i didnt have to use wheel weights. Sorry for the messy wheel and tire i will get some better pictures later. Still waiting on my heartland 250 kit and my shotgun suspension.

Looking good. Boy, that is a wide rear tire. It's going to look sick with that 250 kit. You think that tire is messy? Well, I took my whitewall off the rear to install my Platinum on Saturday and have not cleaned it yet. Black fingerprints everywhere. That is clean in comparison. I'll be you are excited.

It was hard to get the tire bead to "pop" it took nearly 85 PSI. Scared the crap out of me

Ya I bet that was a hard bead to set! How was it stretching over the rim? Did you spoon it on or have a tiremounting deal? That will look sick man!

Just used two tire spoons and some rim protectors. Really easy once you get that tire to pop. Hopefully it rides good with those dynabeads
