That's valid, but unless you got really stiff sidewalls with conventional beadlocks youll still be feeling the rim smack down wouldnt you?
Yes, however there would be another 2 or 3 inches of compression required to bottom out with conventional beadlocks, or whatever thickness the Saturn ring is when inflated.

The Saturn system does seem like a good idea and its cool to see people thinking out side of the bun.
