I bought a Cannondale ebike that uses WTB STX i30 TCS tubeless ready rims with Continental Race King folding bead tires that are currently setup with tubes. 29x2.2

As soon as I got my first flat I discovered that I could not remove the tire or even break the tire bead free from the rim. The mechanic at a shop had to use an undersized tire "wrench" pliers to crush the tire enough to free the bead.

Anyway - I've been around the block - and know how to change tight tires. I've never seen anything like this. Can anyone suggest a very loose fitting (wire bead) tires they know about from experience?

I just want the loosest possible 29x2 or 29x2.2 tire possible. Typically a mix tread ebike rated tire for light gravel or pavement use? I need something I can fix a flat while on a trail.
