I started using wire-bead Paselas last year on my 26"-wheeled roadie. I DID get a snakebite flat when I rolled too hard off my driveway at a right angle; but I've never had a tire blow off my rim. (Of course, I never inflate my tires to full pressure anyway. My non- scientific method: inflate the tire until you can just barely indent the sidewall when you squeeze between your thumb and finger. For very rough conditions I let a little more air out. Jan Heine would shudder, but in thirty years of serious riding I have almost never used a gauge. It's all done by feel and so far it works.)
