Look for the witness line all the way around the tire. If you can see it and it's evenly spaced relative to the edge of the rim, you should be good.
But back to the 'pop' when letting the air out - are you thinking that they're coming unseated when you deflate? Did you confirm? That would make me uneasy, if the beads are coming off.
