I need to run at 23-25 psi in the rear to get an even thread with my 32s since I only keep 1 thing of tools. Never really have weight back there

"Toyos"
There is a keyword the OP Hunter used here that I must share when talking about airing down and possibly needing beadlocks. This keyword is "Toyos", out of all the tire brands I have sold Toyos are the tightest fitting on the Wheel. (Scary tight when new)
I have had to put 60+ PSI in well lubed Toyos to get them to bead up on the wheel, It can be unnerving how much it takes before the beads will pop into place on this brand especially on aluminum wheels because the inner bead ridge is so much taller than on a steel wheel.
I have had folks drive in on flat Toyos because they had no spare and all that was left of the tire was just two beads still seated on the rim! So if he replaces with like kind the beads coming loose should not be a problem. Other makes...Maybe...But not Toyos!

They are a good combination of price and quality. Here's another fact for you about Toyo. "Nitto" brand is also made by Toyo, same casing designs, construction, quality and even built in the same factories but can be found at lower prices depending on market area.

Lol, I was torn between Toyo and my general grabber AT2. Toyos had great reviews. I only went with GG cause that's what the guy was able to get faster.

Lol. My old club, the kid used fluid and a match and used a small flame to reset the bead. Worked insanely great lol. There was a video, gotta find it again

The trick is...
The trick is trying to unseat one in the first place, lol. Seriously, I have accidently bent wheels trying to break these down on old Coats machines!
Friend's Tire Company, yep originally out of Ok. The closest wholesale distribution center for us would be Salt Lake or Albuquerque. I have to deal a little closer and get my deliveries from LA, Las Vegas and Phoenix
