Tires come of the bead when out of air???

Probably would not happen if shape of tire cold and uninflated werent narrower than rim width. It is the fresh strength of the rubber shape pulling them off I would say. I imagine if it were a 5 inch rim it would not have a pull inwards to overcome the width of the rim.

That will happen if the wheels don't have safety beads--bumps around the rim inboard of the tire bead surface to retain the bead.
