Bead locks are your friend! I don't know if he was using them or not, if not he needs some! That would be a sick feeling..

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought those tires were ONLY supposed to be run with beadlock wheels.

You are Right.
https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.
Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.
