Same here. I said this in the SSFG forum before. I must have great dumb luck. No matter what tire I have mounted on a variety of rims, I inflate them and just before max pressure, or at max, or a tiny bit beyond, they just seat themselves, uniformly all the way around. No hassles. No manual manipulation, no talcum powder, no soapy water required. I feel a tinge of guilt sometimes when I read posts where folks are describing some of the difficulties they have encountered.
