Default 2.2 VP SLW V-2 mounting help !!

I'm trying to mount a set of BFG Krawlers to these wheels with CI deuces wild foams and they mount fairly easily but the bead slips out with a little pull of the tire. I mounted again and a few hours later the beads slipped out again without ever touching them. This is happening on all 4 wheels. Other then gluing is there any tricks to mounting tires to these wheels?

no tricks. How is it slipping out without pulling it. when you tighten it down are you tightening it so the ring and wheel are metal on metal on the inside where you can see?

Yea metal on metal all the way around. I ended shaving a hair off the deuces wild side walls and all is good now. The foams was pulling the side wall so tight it was pulling itself out.

What about washing the tires to get the mold release off and make them stickier?
