take this for what its worth - Ford only recommends using the beadlocks for offroad use. Any tire retailer, including your dealer, will not warranty out any tire if it feels its been used offroad.
that being said - ford isnt going to cover your tire on a beadlock wheel. ever. nor will they cover the beadlock wheel should it be damaged - offroad. kind of a cheap, conniving way for them to offer a product and not have to stand behind it.
if you are content on running the wheels with the true beadlock wheels, run the Toyo M/T or the Nitto Trail Grappler. both of those tires will work very well with the beadlock setup and won't be too hard to install. both tires perform very well when aired down too.
now if you are going to run any other tire on the factory wheel - you are going to have to do some crazy stunts in order to damage that wheel. i would feel free to run any tire on the factory wheel. especially if you purchase from a place like Discount Tire that you can purchase a warranty/certification, where it covers damage to the tire.
what kind of tire do you want to run? mud terrain, all terrain?
hope this helps a little.
