I recently had to replace a few tubes due to punctures on the tires and rim combo mentioned in the title. First off, I couldn't believe how difficult they were to change. I noticed that the tire does not really seat properly into the rim on both front and rear with the same tire. Its only in a few spots that the bead of the tire wont completely go to the edge of the rim. I tried pretty much everything I could think of.

I talked to someone with the same set up and they said they had the same issue. Im not worried about uneven wear of the tire, im more worreid about safety.

Anyway please discuss if you have run into similar issues.

Chris.

I blew the rear HR 2 off our 26" ZTR Flows they will not stay on! Tubeless is great when it bleeds all over the hill.

I ended up using Minion F/R no issues...I guess it is "know" that the HR 2 will not seat correctly on ZTR hoops. I found out the hard way.
