With the current shortages of components, I would be surprised to find rebates anywhere. Crossing my fingers for black friday and boxing day deals...
I can understand why hookless rims would make a tire harder to stay seated, but didn't think they could unseat just like that when deflated. Never had that problem. Out of curiosity, did you try different sealants to see if it would help the tires stay seated?
