Re the pop - no, i dont know if they actually unseated or not. I just heard the pop when i let the air out entirely and assumed that meant that the tire had gotten unseated - although it did not pop when i inflated it and it is properly seated, so i could be wrong.

Can it make that pop/cracking sound and NOT unseat? Because you are right - now that i think about the implications, the idea of it unseating if there is no air is a bit worrying.
