I have run both "tube type" and "tubeless type" IRC trials tires on both
my GasGas bikes and a KDX200. I have been using the 803 Trials tire
on my 02 EC300 for a couple of years so far and have had no problems
with the tire coming off the bead. I think my rims on the 300 are Dirt Stars also.
The rear 803 takes 40-60 lbs of pressure to seat the bead, using some
water and dish soap as a lube.
I'd say you have a problem with either the tire or the rim that is not normal.
you might want try another trials tire. Or put that one on another bike and see.
Keep us posted if you find the answer to your problem.
