Boy were they right these are hardest wheels to mount a tire on I'd ever run accross...untill I tried to mount tires on my new Reynolds Alta's. I've pinched three tubes trying to mount my tires, something I've never done in the last 15 years of cycling.
I'm a Neutron wheel rider too. I don't have any problems with the Conti or Vittoria tires that I've used. I've run the Conti: GP Supersonic, GP 4 season, GP 3000, and Ultra 2000. I've also run the Vittoria Open Corsa CX ...both manufacturers I chose only folding. None of these tires has been terribly difficult to mount. The easiest was the Vittorias.

I sometimes warm tires in the oven when they're brand new.
