The big trick to making sure the bead holds is the prep of the tire and wheels itself. If you're not scuffing the tire bead and wheel, you should be. I use green scotch brite to scuff both the tire bead and the where it seats on the wheel. Then I wipe down both the tire bead and wheel with rubbing alcohol to clean off all the little rubber and plastic particles from scuffing it up. I then use thin CA to glue them together. I haven't had a problem yet and this includes 53+ mph with badlands (on a Savage Flux) which balloon a heck of a lot more than any buggy tires.
