Huh. I just looked at their listing.
So, bead circumference/diameter for tires (and rims...) is a cluster**** in the industry right now. 622 millimeters doesn't actually mean 622 millimeters...it means 622 millimetersISH. Companies build whatever size they want, and then slap 700c/622 on it. That's not so big an issue for tubed tires (other than some tires being a ***** to get on, and others just sliding right on...), but from what I understand it causes all sorts of seating issues with tubeless. I would assume the tires ENVE lists are those that are the closest to the diameter ENVE decided to manufacture their wheels at.
I wish more companies would take the time to actually measure up and/or test tires for use on their rims.
