Tyres not sitting pretty, mag wheels :(

(1/3) > >>

ATL:
Iv got these new Gusset Pimp tyres, but iv put them on my Acorn Freestyle rims and they dont fit right, the lip is partly on then at the opposite side of the tire the lips under the rim so the tyres on the rim not the lip, iv tried stretching them a little but it hasnt helped much shall i stretch them more?

If you can just about see under the Gusset Pimp text the lip is in the right place but over the other side it isnt.

lazychubs:
they wont fit right as ive tried with some new skool type tyres with the lip bit

ATL:
Damn! How about if i cut down the lip slightly, would it matter so much if the tires like this? surely itl squish down when i ride the bike anyway?

spesh:
had the same problem fitting lamellos to skyways
if you smear some washing up lquid between the bead of the tyre and the rim this should make it  seat squarely when you pump it up:daumenhoch:

Dark Diggler:
Put 60 psi in em.
