I run them on Mavic Open Pro's. Might be the rim/tire combination. In the past what I have done with tight tires and rims is squirt a little water on the rim's sidewall to get the tire to slide in. Seems to help out. I use Conti tires and don’t have any problems. I run them on Mavic Open Pro’s. Might be the rim/tire combination.

I tried with several different tires and I thought all of them where a tad smaller... I don't know, I really thought I had bought the wrong tires... I was short 1 inch. Second flat was much easier though... I guess they just needed to stretch. Same thing with the tubulars. Close to impossible to put them on the rim, at least with my arms (which is a whole different story - things like this would have been easy in the rowing days... real man arms that I had... not anymore).
