i got some panaracer gravelking sk's that were very difficult to mount and even worse to remove. i thought i'd never get the tire off the rim, at first. however, i learned from the web to just loop one end under a foot and stretch it. a bit of that and some trial and error mount/removals made them much much better. i would never ever want to get caught with a flat and a tire that hard to mount
