Default Mudlites popping off the bead???

I just put new Mudlites and ITP C-Series Type 5 rims on my 650 V2. They look great, but someone I met today says he's had problems with the Mudlites popping off the bead while riding. Especially when he hits ruts. I'm not sure what kind of rims he's using. Has anyone else had problems with their Mudlites?

I think your tire pressure should be around 5psi. If its to low they can fold off the rim easier

i was accidently running my 6-ply itp tires at about .5 psi (don't ask) and they worked fine now i am running about 4 psi i think in them so they are very very stiff i am sure if he is having this trouble maybe just a bad tire or a bent rim.

I had problems with the stock tires popping off the beads. When I upgraded to Mudlites I also bought some bead sealer and that stuff locks the tire on the rim, stops bead leaks to.
