CMP Tire sizes?

[Bob Carriere]

The difference/difficulties that we have experienced using US tires on British CMP rims has been VERY positive. Some have resorted to actually grinding the tire bead almost to the steel cable others like myself....with proper tire lubricants have installed new tight tires very easily by hand. Granted they do not fall in place by themselves but they can be worked quite easily.

Removing old hard dry rust to the rim tires after 65 years is better left to the tire shop although some of us have beaten them into submission by hand.... to me it is not worth the effort.

......quite a bit has been written on past MLU postings and I have designed my own home built tool for installing them the lazy way.
