Did a pretty global search but am sure I missed awesome threads on this.... if you happen to know of one..... pass on link..

ok.... I want to make myself some CTIS protectors .... closest cousin to my design idea for these would be Rock Rings.. or Bead Potectors orrr one of those various names they call them?

My question is for anyone that has used rock rings......

> any issues with retaining heat in the hubs or tires more after adding the rings? Any chance it actually helped?

> what about getting mud into and out of the rings?

Open to other thoughts.

PS-- NO they will not be weld on as some Rock Rings are.

I don't think they'll fit, but the Oshkosh PLS trucks have covers that bolt to four of the wheel studs. Of course, they filled full of mud if you got the truck in real deep, and they dented if you bashed them, but they were there... In my experience, the CTIS valves usually died of internal issues long before any trail damage could occur...
