@Geepig: Hah, no, these are nearly new Schwalbe Marathons. I did try an old pair of Schwalbe 2.0"—same problem.

@moe: That seems to help. My working technique is to massage the tire in where it's a bit farther out, and massage the slack around to where it's too far in. I've managed, with this technique, to get it fairly even all around the bead, and ridable, so I'm happy, I think.

I wouldn't say the problem is solved. With road tires, I routinely seat them and they're pretty symmetrical. Maybe I'm just not used to how much play exists in fatter tires?

But I can ride, so hey.
