I hear baby powder around the tube before install will help tremendously and soapy water during slow air up massaging the tire after each pump every 5 psi or so until mostly aired then of course less weights are needed:
Interesting, I’ve not heard of lube to make sure tire sits on hub correctly. What kind of lube and where do you put the lube and how much? Thanks
Superlube is the common choice, and recommended by landsurf. You don’t need much, just a fine layer smoothed out along the bead.

Dielectric grease works well and is easy to find.

Yeah that’s not a bad idea. Especially if you know the tire is seated properly already and that’s not where the vibrations are coming from.

I use superlube for my tires and gears myself. I feel it helps a decent amount getting some tires on and off.

I’m having the same issue on all 4. The tube they cone with actually kinks inside as I think they are slightly too big…
Does anyone have some tubes they would be willing to let go of for these tires ? I’ve emailed land surf twice about this with no reply . Ran these all summer with zero issues but ended up with flat a couple days ago.
Maybe a weird question, I’m trying to install xcell on Exway’s new ACE Hubs below. The hubs are slightly wider than the tire. Hub is 70mm wide and the xcell tires are 62mm wide. Is there a way to stretch these or “bead” them ? Is that possible with tubed tires??
One of the issues I have noticed with the exway hubs is that the tire valve hole isn’t centered between the hub. It sits more towards the front of the rim so the tube sits at an angle when filled, causing it to wobble. I have brought this to exways attention and they just give me the generalized answer of incompatibility nonsense…
