alot of my mates run strech in there skiders, but where only talking like 215's on 9's and i have never seen or heard of anyone poping beads (i do no its very possible).

lower profiles on larger rims is the way to go, but its also not the easyest option.

i find for me, heat is normaly is the biggest killer, so i normaly get delamanation (how ever it's spelt) before that tyre is bald, the best tyre combo i have found on my ute so far (with out going into brands) is 165/65 on a 14x6, i normaly just use 175/70/13 or 155 or 165/70/12 as there cheap, but find they hold more heat and tend to roll around alot..
