My last Compass tire started having the issue once it got high-mileage (>3000 miles), only put it on once so I don't think it's always a bead issue, I think there's an interplay with overall tire integrity as well.

I will add that the most recent early/mid-2019 GK models were all more supple than prior models. This may indicate more pressure is needed to increase casing tension such that the bead on a tolerance-loose set-up will burp or bleed easier than the prior examples you had.

Possible remedy? More tape!
Replaced the tape twice and added more layers with no luck.

You may be on to something with the supple tire.

At any rate, I'm going switch tires and see what happens.
