loose bead locks

[PISTOL PETE]

yesterday i was running my mt and i noticed that one of my front tires seemed to puff up and expand at top speed. so when i got home and took the truck apart to clean it, i noticed that the tire made a hissing noise(air leak) if i squeezed it and the rest of them didnt. i thought maybe i punctured it. so i put a little soapy water on it and found the outer bead lock started to come loose. i retightened it and the leak went away.i did not realize they were air tight like that. most of my trucks have breather holes in the rims.i guess it helped because it also cured the high speed pull to the right that i had been getting for a while now and couldnt figure out. just something to look out for

Mine had the holes in the rim you speak of but not enough of them. Sometimes they would get blocked so I added more and check them so often.
