I've changed my fair share of bicycle tires back in the day, but these GPs are something else. Will have to try again another time when I get more tubes and feeling returns to my hands.
Stock WTB Nano tires were a breeze to put back on, in comparison.
some tire / rim combos are a real challenge
others are even worse
darn tubeless geeks
I have 40mm Terra Speeds on my gravel bikes - no plans to change them for road rides … did two consec 40 mile road rides with them and they were fine - and on some of the worst pavement they were probably a plus … they possibly roll as well (or better ?) than some lower end or tougher road tires including a GatorSkin
just for reference :
