Having real problem trying to get tyres to seat onto Navigator rims. For some reason one part of the tyre just sits too low and won't pop out however hard I pump it up.
Tyres are not that tight as they go on with a few firm thumb pushes but once on I cannot get them to seat evenly even before pumping any air in.
Somehow manage to get the back one done by just continually reinflating but getting fed up with the front one now after an hour pissing about.
(I have tried lubing my rim, oo er, to no avail and even tried different tyres but all do the same) Any tips anyone or do I just have some shite rims?
