wheel/tire advice

[Tickdoc]

I have an old set of ENVE 3.4 (non-ses) that I bought new from a dealer in 2012.

They've been my fast go to wheels forever now, but they don't seem to like the tires I seem to like. (veloflex master and vittoria corsa G). They are well out of warranty so I'm not sure Enve would do anything towards a new set, unless they offer the trade-in program again.

The beads pop out. Never a good thing. I can usually get a new set of corsas to mount if I'm careful, but I'm sick of having bead-seat anxiety. Roadside CO2 repairs are nearly impossible to set.

What's a good alternative fast yet supple tire to try that might have a more robust enve friendly bead? I had a blow-out this week and I have a trip coming up that I was going to use them on.

Spesh turbo? Maybe gravel king?

Thought about turbos, don’t need the extra grip of the gravel kings tho.

the gravel king non sk is just like a regular tire. Don't get fooled by gravel in the name, its just a road slick.

Conti GP4 and GP5 do fine on this wheel for me.
Agree it is a go fast wheel albeit w some flex.

Turbos are the bomb.
