folding tires wobbly?

(1/2) > >>

blueee:
seems like all the folding tires I've ran have problems with the bead. well I've only run microknobbies really, and they all seem to be wonky and wobbly. my rim is definitely straight and there's definitely big lumps and imperfections on the tire.
iirc someone said this was an inherent problem with most all Kevlar tires?
any info? any remedy's?

Prodigal Son:
I can't be sure, but I feel like a different tire might be the solution.

Sasha:
Are they seated properly?

blueee:
i mean what tire is anywhere near as awesome/similar to the microknobbie? im about to get a markweb khe tire for the front. im worried about traction on dirt, tho :o

how do i assure the tire is seated properly? the other stiffer tires seem to seat just fine

blueee:
vittoria makes litewate 20in tires, yes? i cant really find any info about them on their site nor can i find any USA retailers. anyone have info on these tires?
