Chunk in the bead is fine. Sometimes the beads get chunked while removing the tire from the rim.

Sometimes a chunked bead will allow air to enter between the plies and will cause a bubble in the sidewall.

You're wanting to spend more money for new bead lock wheels so you can use the used tires that you got for cheap? Read that sentence again and think about it. Most bead locks aren't DOT legal anyway.

Beadlocks - constantly checking bolt torque if daily driven and pretty pricy..have you mounted the tire to see if it leaks..post a pic of the tire
