Scott- something you can try (if you aren't scared to add some rotational weight) is to take some electrical tape and wrap a few layers around the rim. This helps the tires seat better on the bead.
But, with that being said...the first 24" rims I rode were some shitty Alienation ones. I couldn't keep a tire on the bead for the life of me. I tried everything known to man and had no luck. Switched to some Odyssey Hazard Lites and had zero issues with the now 4 different tires I have rode on the rim.
Your tire or rim might be your turd in the punch bowl at this party.

also in addition to the electrical tape trick, dudes who run ghetto tubeless setups will sometimes use foam insulation tape to make sure the tires stay put and seat into the bead nice. might be worth a shot

So would you run the electrical tape along the inside sidewalls where the hook is? Can you elaborate?

Do you mean this tape? Thanks for the tips.

yep thats the stuff, and as you can see in that lil stock image its available in different widths and thicknesses so you can get a good fit in your rim
