Designed for today’s heavier trucks, larger tire packages and more demanding towing and off-road applications, the 710-HD brings together Method’s patented Bead Grip® Technology, reinforced construction and best-in-class load ratings in a wheel built to perform when conditions get tough. The 710-HD features Method’s patented Bead Grip® Technology, designed to provide increased tire security when running lower tire pressures off-road. Integrated grooves in the inner and outer bead seats engage the tire bead for increased grip, helping keep the tire securely positioned on the wheel as pressures drop. This allows drivers to take advantage of the increased traction, improved tire compliance and smoother ride that airing down can provide when navigating rocks, sand and other challenging terrain. Subscribe to our weekly newsletter Bead Grip® Technology is paired with aggressive safety humps on the bead seats to provide an additional measure of protection against de-beading. Together, these features give drivers greater confidence to reduce tire pressures and take advantage of a larger contact patch without stepping up to a traditional beadlock wheel. For trucks that need to handle both everyday driving and demanding off-road use, the 710-HD provides added tire security without compromising its versatility. Strength is equally important, especially as modern trucks become heavier and towing capacities, payloads and tire sizes continue to increase. The 710-HD is built from solid A356 aluminum and undergoes T6 heat treatment to increase strength and durability. A reinforced inner lip derived from Method’s race-proven engineering adds material in a critical high-stress area of the wheel, helping it withstand the forces generated by heavy loads and hard impacts off-road. The result is a heavy-duty wheel with best-in-class load ratings ranging from 3,310 to 4,500 pounds, depending on fitment. That additional capacity makes the 710-HD well suited for everything from loaded overland builds and tow rigs to heavy-duty trucks running larger tires and additional equipment. Despite its heavy-duty construction, the 710-HD doesn’t overlook functional design. Recessed pockets incorporated into the outer lip add visual depth and detail to the wheel’s clean split-spoke design. The pockets are purposefully shaped to resist collecting dirt and debris, an important consideration for a wheel intended to spend time in mud, rocks and loose terrain. Hub-centric fitments for common applications further contribute to the wheel’s purpose-built design. The result is styling that serves a purpose. The 710-HD bridges the gap between heavy-duty capability and off-road performance. Its increased load capacity supports the demands of heavier vehicles, towing and added payload, while Bead Grip® Technology provides a distinct advantage when tire pressures come down on the trail. For drivers who use the same truck to tow, haul, explore and tackle technical terrain, that combination means they don’t have to choose between load-carrying strength and off-road functionality. Every 710-HD is also backed by Method’s industry-leading warranty, adding long-term confidence to a wheel engineered for demanding use. The Method Race Wheels 710-HD Bead Grip® is available in Gloss Black and Machined finishes and in 17, 18 and 20-inch sizes, with fitments covering a range of popular truck and SUV applications. https://www.methodracewheels.com/blogs/news/710-hd-bead-grip
