Should I Use Rim Locks

Having come from tubeless tired bikes to the WR I need some advice on whether I should have rim locks on my tires. I have Michelin T-63's front and rear, in 90/90 and 130/80. I typically ride conservatively on gravel, dirt and somewhat rocky two track, with tire pressures 10 front and 15-20 rear. I suspect I don't need to add rim locks at my impending tire change but wondered what y'all thought.

I run Dunlop 606 on the rear 14-15 PSI and have not had an issue riding in any terrain that New England woods has thrown at me.

I am running the Motion Pro lite rims locks on the same exact tires front and back. I am running 8 PSI in the front and 12 PSI in the rear. I live in FL and I do a lot of sugar sand riding, and the rear tire spins up a bunch. I would recomend them and they were not much to add to the tire.

I have em but ride in the woods like im on a real dirt bike most of the time with 10-12 psi in the rear tire, I never go below 14-15 psi in the front.

For dual sport rides where I keep 15-20 psi in the tires they're not needed at all.

Side note, your asking for trouble running less than 12 psi in the front tire, if you hit a rock or root you will get a pinch flat or dent the rim. I run 14-15 psi for this reason, any less and I hit the rim on rocks and roots. I can see running 8-10 for sand without rocks for flotation but that only works where theres no small hard objects hidden in the sand.

My experience has been the same as Biglake's: If I run less than 14psi in the front tire, I end up banging the rim on rocks. Of course, I'm a heavy rider traversing rocky Nevada terrain.

I have a Tubliss D606 in the back and can run that at 4psi without problems, although I generally run about 8psi on dirt and 20psi on the short sections of pavement I hit on occasion.

Running the motion pro lites on mine. Was just worried if tire pressure gets low, that the tire could spin when braking and cut the valve stem off.

just a warning for highway use with rimlock either install two (opposing each other) or buy a static balancer and balance the tires/wheels. Im running SMpro wheels front/rear pirelli tires. Shook like crazy until i balanced them to offset the weight of the rim locks.
