After I got the tire off I took a good look at the inside of the rim. The ridge that forms the bead well is pretty tall. I’m. Not sure a different model tire is going to make enough of a difference to make it a lot easier to get a tire off. I think I’ll just buy another set of disc brake wheels and make sure the rims are clincher and NOT tubeless designed. Then just see what I can sell the existing wheels for. They’d actually make really great wheels for someone who’d like to run tubeless .
