If you want to avoid a tight fit, do not try the combination I have on my Bianchi -- Campagnolo Omega rims with Continental tires.

Aside: When buying mountain bike tires, you will need three tire levers to install or remove "tubeless ready" tires. In the past, I have not even bothered to carry tire levers with my mountain bike, but this has now changed.
