Just (tried to) mounted a new Dunlop GPA-Pro on my rear Marvic rim for the 750. I've mounted tons of tires - including on this rear wheel. However, this is my first GPA-Pro.
Is something else going on, or are these things just a real PITA compared to Pirellis? The tire is on, but the bead will just NOT set. I've pulled the tire off, lubed it and the rim, and started over twice now. Part of the tire bead will just not move outward and set in the rim. I'm starting to really regret trying these friggin things out. Never ever had a problem with the P tires and haven't mounted anything else in quite a while.
