Bead leaks

Stem guards are a great idea.

Well we got a couple inches of snow so I went for a short ride with the tubes in only to return home with two flat rear tires. The stems tore right out of the tubes. That didn't last long. I suspect the tire is spinning on the rim although I can't say for sure because I didn't mark a spot on them. Looks like I'll go back to tubeless and keep airing up every time I use it. What an incredibly huge pain in the posterior this has been.

I've seen this issue but only with the 8" rims for some reason? I never spun a tire on a rim on the 9" setups, not sure if they have a better improved rim setup to hold the bead onto the rim?
We used to use roof tar on the beads of the 8" Argo rims before beading the tires and that seemed to help. Once your spinning your tires on the rims it's pretty much inevitable the tire will leak air sooner or later. I just got my first tube leak ever on a machine so far and it was on my SxS with 14" rims on a front tire that I previously have debeaded before in mud. Some tires are much worse then others for debeading. Installing tires for a long time it's drastic the difference in how easy some tires debead compared to others depending on how they are made and how tight they seal the rim.
