Tyron Bands Are You Aware of the Pitfalls

"Bands were to stop rims pre safety lip from allowing their tyres to move sideways under cornering till a bead fell into the centre well. The need for bands was removed many years ago".

Here there is a fundamental misunderstanding of the function bands are deployed to do.
The bands are not there to stop tyres moving sideways nor can they, on the other hand that is specifically the function of safety humps featured in safety rims.

Further bands do not in anyway inhibit the humps doing their intended function, neither do the humps stop the bands doing their intended function.

For clarity the bands are there to eliminate any possibility of the beads dropping into the well, with the consequences that can come with that.
Safety humps, in the profiles we encounter, are as was stated to make it more difficult for the bead to leave the correct position on the rim; note they can't prevent it, only make it more difficult.

One can argue all day that bands are not needed, contending the safety hump is all that is required but the fact remains bands add a feature; with them the beads can't fall into the well.
That having an additional safety feature preventing the tyre bead falling into the well I contend simply must be safer than allowing the bead if it jumps the hump then coming much looser on the rim.

In my most recent case the bead had jumped the safety hump.

You even pasted part of my post but still chose to interpret it your own way. The band is supposed to prevent the bead from falling into the well ...... pretty much what I put!
