Question about Tubed Tire Beadlock System

I have recently purchased a set of Cooper Discoverer S/T 33/12.5/15's
I have only put 100 miles on them before taking them up some rocks and puncturing the sidewall on one. Its just a small hole it seems but where its located its obviously beyond repair.

I was looking around and found a guy on craigslist that is selling a beadlock setup like I have never seen before. He has the wheels with beadlock rim and all and also a set of Tubes and Sleeves that go inside the tire.

Does anyone use a setup like this? If so would this solution work for me and my brand new tire with Very Minor sidewall damage..? I would like any alternative to buying another tire if I can help it..

Thanks Guys

Sleeve and tube is to hold tire on bead, not air in the tire.

Replace your tire.

have you tried calling the original shop? Maybe they have an affiliate shop there that can change the tire out under warranty.

have you tried calling any authorized Cooper tire dealers? or cooper themselves? Might be tedious but it saves you some coin.
