the bead is to choose what length of screw to use. I would guess 1/2" # 10
sheet metal screw would do it. I just remembered I did this on a dirt bile
years ago. But, I had drilled and measured the bead before mounting the
tire.

I'm a bit more patient in my old age having been beat up so many times by short cut
decisions. I would want the best hole location and to know exactly how thick the rim
is and the thickness of the bead at the point where the screw penetrates. Of course,
you may already know that information from working with the tires and wheels.

Taking this thread back to big tires and "off roading" what kind of terrain have you all been able to land on and take off from again with the Nanco tires? I want to go find some good camping spots once my plane is back up and I am unsure about how tall off grass or how uneven of ground I should consider too much

James,
I have both Nanco and Kingfox tires on different Kitfoxes here. Both work the same.
From my own expereince;
Soft sand - no problem
up to 12" snow- no problem
Mud -- massive floatation.I have been in mud/water where the entire tires is submerged and got out.
Water no problem -- if you moving
You need to consider as well - heavy planes will make it tougher.
Kitfox IV with 912 should be under 650 empty and with 582 well under 600 lbs.
Prop- I like WARP with SS leading edge as they are more resistant to water ,sand and stone damage.
Kitfox IV has better flap control if you can use the full 33 degrees travel to rip your self out of sticky or soft ground easier. 1,2 and 3 models are limited to about 15 degrees and are less effective.
Know your plane. Train -train and train. Plenty of practice on soft ground and short places will make it better. Find a soft wet spot near a grass strip that you can venture into......... make consisitant take off and landings in and out of a short area area.
Start at 500 feet and work down in 100 foot increments untill you can nail it everytime. Soon, you will be at 100 foot and loving it.
Get some movies of this --great inspiration for other that never venture past the pavement 
Take care, Dave

I have ventured into peoples yards a couple of times but they both had at least surveyed and mowed "strips". I will be looking to get into smaller unimproved areas for camping and just for fun once the Fox is back up. This past deployment I got a few good cameras so video will definitely follow. On e the dust settles I also have a deployment video to show you all.
