That's what it looks like in place with the backing tape in translucent red. Before setting the tire onto the rim beginning at the valve hole I pulled back about 2" of the backing tape per side, folding them over at a 90 degree angle so they'd stay in place and stick out for pulling later. Then it was just a matter of stretching the tire on, centering it best I could, and then pulling the exposed ends of the tape. Done
