Default how to prevent tires coming out off the beadlocks

how do you guys mount the tires on beadlock wheels?
in my case it came loose at a high speed turn. my setup is tekin rs pro, redline 13.t, stock gearing. currently using stock ripsaw r35 tires from kit, mounted on cr01 beadlocks wheels with tamiya aluminum beadlocks.

i have vanquish star wheels on the way, will it solve my problem? or i should do extra precautions like gluing tires? but how?

thanks.

Get a set of Motoworx Beadlocks. No lost beads. They are the opposite of Super Light Weight though. Extra beef with these.

Thanks for the replies guys, but getting another set of wheels is not an option for now since i already bought a vp szz star. What should i do to prevent loosing thread? Is gluing tires to an aluminum wheels is acceptable? Will a super glue stick on the aluminum of the wheels?
Another option is if ill change my ripsaw to proline tsl swamper, will it solve the problem?

Superglue should help them stick enough to solve the problem, unless the clearance is completely out of spec on the wheels/rings.

Clear silicone should bond to both and be fairly easy to remove if you want to disassemble the tire and wheel without damage or heavy cleanup of the residue. I have a tube on hand but surprisingly have not lost a bead and had to use it.

thanks! i will try this first to my ripsaw on cr01 wheels. the silicone must be put on the side of the ring or on the wheels side?
