Ok. It is not just me having trouble mounting tires on these things. I've got Titans that require tire levers. A while back, I had some Race Xtra Lites that were also a pain. Maybe it is a Trek/Wisconsin/Lawyer thing where they want to make sure the bead won't pop off? Anyway, what tire brand tends a little large that won't be such a bear? I don't want to wrestle with these things on my way to work.
