function > form.


you can try breaking the bead, cleaning the rim with some brake clean and re-seating them. maybe who ever mounted them used too much soap or some silicone lube etc to mount them.....

well if you want them to stop slipping on the wheel, you are limited in your options.

6 psi, isnt that a little on the low side?
Maybe adding a little air will help?

There are aftermarket beadlock producers who can make a beadlock and weld it on to your lenso this is what a lot of the rock crawler guys do.

Isn't there a type of sticky spray you spray around the rim or the bead??? Maybe that will help, not sure just another suggestion. I never tried it. I have mine screwed in.
