OK, now I'm wondering if they are the right match. The rims are Black Flag XC (29 inch) and have a sticker notubes.com on them. The tires are Terravail EHLINE. The size of the new tires are 29 x 2.3 and the size of the old tires are 29.25. Currently the bead of the new tire is so tight in the middle of the rim, that I cannot get any type of tire tool under them, to try to remove it to replace the rim tape (I tore it using the screwdriver).
