Not reaaalllly what I'd describe as baggy. FWIW, I set these wheels/tyres up start to finish in about 10 minutes. It was as easy as anything using my track pump, so I don't think it's that. It feels like the channel isn't deep enough for the tyre now that they've stretched a bit on the rim. Whereas when I first did it out of the box obviously the tyre bead was a bit tighter. The bead on a G-One also feels a lot more substantial - as though it could stop air to contain it within the tyre.

Had my first ever tubeless fail in over three years of only using tubeless. Cannot get a Pro One to seat after I plugged a hole that wouldn't seal. A G One seats perfectly on the same rim without even using sealant. So currently I have a 25c Pro One on the front and a 30c G One on the rear until I figure this out. I'd like to put a 30c on the front tbh but my fork won't clear it.
Anyway is there a way to figure out where air is leaking from on the other tyre if I can't even inflate it? I am using the same track pump, same rim (obvs), everything is the same other than the tyre.
I stuck a tube in and put it in the bath to see if there were any obvious holes but there weren't (unsure if this would even work given the air is held within the tube). When I pump it up it just sounds like air is escaping from the entire tyre. Have wet the rim, dried the rim, put sealant in, nothing works. I worry the tyre is beyond saving so have ordered another... I also put it in a full bath and pumped it up and there were air bubbles coming from the entire rim so it didn't really help me figure anything out.
