Hi everybody,
I put Goodyear Xplr Slick tires on my Zipp 303 Xplr rims. Unfortunately, the tire do not fully seat and wobble. The wobbling drives me crazy.. Reseating does not fix the wobble. I tried inflating the tires to 4,5 bar / 65 psi over night to seat the tire, which did not help. The rim is rated to a max pressure of 3,5 bar / 50 psi.
Did any one of you have similar issues and how did you solve it?
Thanks a lot 🫶🏻

Soap water on the rim/bead before seating, then try the high pressure technique. If that doesn’t work you can run it a little low and go to a safe place to ride slow but do some aggressive cornering to get some lateral forces pulling the bead into position. Then inflate to normal pressure and ride as normal. When I’ve had issues with newer MTB tires, some combination of the above has worked.
I think so. First blowout ever! got that off my bucket list 😂
