2. Tire bead - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_bead

   Tire bead is the term for the edge of a tire that sits on the rim. Wheels for automobiles, bicycles, etc. are made with a small slot or groove into which the tire bead sits. When the tire is properly inflated, the air pressure within the tire keeps the bead in this groove. Reducing tire air pressure is a frequent practice among off-road vehicle ...

3. Bead breaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bead_breaker

   The large bead retainer is necessary to prevent unintentional dislocation of the tire bead from the bead seat. Furthermore, if an ATV tire does lose pressure from a puncture, the large bead retainer will keep the tire in place for low-speed riding, allowing the rider to navigate to the trail head without the tire coming completely off of the rim.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rim_(wheel)

   These parts are removable from one side for tire mounting, while the opposite side attached to the base has a fixed flange. Low tire pressure applications such as off-roading and drag racing use a beadlock that clamps or physically attaches the bead of the tire to the rim of the wheel. This reduces the chance of the tire separating from the rim ...

7. ISO 5775 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_5775

   The distinction is primarily that hooked-bead rims lack the defined bead seat of straight side and Crochet-type rims. The tire is held in position radially by the hook without a bead seat playing a role. Without a bead seat, the primary designation of the diameter in terms of the bead seat is not applicable, and the governing diameter is the OD.
