Compounded by the fact that bead failures are ones that are the hardest to boot or temporarily fix due to the stress concentration. This happened to me without warning in the fall of 2022 on my Bike Friday. No brake pad wear into the sidewall, no signs of obvious distress - just a tire that had seen a lot of revolutions on this bike.

Even this would only hold less than 10 psi and only lasted less than an hour. And no, no matter how hard I worked at it, I could not get it to seat deeper on the rim.
