I wanted to change both tires to ride the Blue Ridge Parkway while on a retreat. 8mph going up with worn tires is no problem but 40+ on the brakes on the way down is different. I tried to install the tires and couldn't get the bead to stay in the rim. Blew 2 tubes before I could get the tube to not pop out and explode.
Fortunately because of the time wasted I didn't get out and it started to rain.
The tires are seated at 110psi now and spinning smooth. Should I assume things are ok? The tires also seem high profile compared to my old Vredestein's.
