And you are correct, Bianchigirll- they are much harder to get on and off. Had to do front tire twice. Put pinhole in tube and had to do again. Warmed oven up to 150, let it cool down for 5 minutes and put tire in for about 3 minutes. Baked till crust was golden-brown(just kidding) was a little easier to stretch, but not much.
