Certain rim/tire combinations cause trouble, hard to know what's going on without hearing the same sort of thing from multiple people.
agree that my ma40 rims are part of the problem but consistently I have seen in threads all over bike forums and elsewhere the TLR or tubeless ready are much harder to mount than tire that are not TLR.
this makes sense has TLR has to fit well/tight for sealing and has to be ready to handle hookless
Some manufactures have both versions (i.e GP5000 is available not TLR and TLR with the TLR having having different sidewalls)
I would suspect the trend will be to offer only TLR construction...but as with these tires, note the max pressure between tubed and tubeless. I am not a fand of that suspected trend
I am just moving more of my bikes to tubular
