They do loosen up over time to be fair, and the new S TR version is considerably easier to get on.
Have you used the S TR version? Which tyre/rim width? Cheers.
Yep, I’ve tried 28mm ones on 19mm internal alloy rims. Still took a little work to get on but was considerably better, just normal tight ish tyre. Blew up to bang on 28mm in size.
