be aware that you must take extra care during installation of the tires... the extra inner tube will try to get pinched under the tire bead.

it will help to partially inflate the tube... a bit less than fully shaped.... or, since the tube is too big for the tire, even less than that... then slip the tube into the tire, line up/feed the stem into the rim, and put the first bead in at the same time, between the rim and valve stem... use your hands as much as possible to install the first bead, and then the second bead...MOST tires can be installed with NO tire iron use. if you keep the beads pinched into the rim's valley.
