Is it possible that one specific tire type can never seat correctly on a specific set of rims?

It's possible that one specific tyre can never seat correctly on a specific rim. Sometimes something gets missed by QC and an out-of-tolerance product makes it into the supply chain.

Old fashioned rims like ZAC and Andra series are particularly poorly suited to tight tyres (e.g. TL/TLE/TLR styles) at low pressures.

what bothers me is that it happens with all four G-one Allround tires on all four Ryde rims, which leads me to believe that it might not be "compatible" (which is not the right word, but you get the idea).

So it means it is new tire model time?

If you like the tyres, it's new rim time. ZACs and Andras are not for the kind of people who use G-Ones, they're beater rims most suited to wire-bead tyres with tubes.
