I recently got a pair of campy eurus wheels. The tires I mounted on them were the continental attack/force set. The front came off of my fsa rd 600 wheels i had been riding - it went on easily. the rear, which was new, was very difficult to get on as you have noted. If you really like the contis try installing them on your old wheels first-a lot of trouble i know- then leave them several days to stretch, then put them on your campys.
