to be honest, I never struggle installing tires, but I still can say when one is harder than the other.

I was able to mount a tubeless 28mm GP5000 without using a lever, but the owner of the wheelset needed to use a lever. The 28mm Schwalbe Pro 1 addix went on without using a lever.
Both tires inflated with a floor pump.
One of the Schwalbe tires had 3 tiny holes in the sidewall that prevented the tire from holding any pressure. We'll see what Merlin Cycles has to say about it. Luckily I always buy 3 tires at a time.
