Road tubeless experiences

If the tires are Schwalbe Pro Ones, I’d be starting to suspect the Prime wheels being out of spec and slightly too large.

if the diameter of the rim bead is greater than 622.45mm, then your rim is out of spec and installing/removing tires is going to be difficult. If your rim is slightly too large, and tire is slightly too small, then you have a super difficult situation.

The rim bead diameter for the rim should be 621.95 plus or minus 0.5mm, which I’ll claim is a pretty tight tolerance (+/- 0.08%).
