and NO. that's just a dumb idea.

dumb question: are they 27.5 (650b) tires on a 700c rim? So tight that they're breaking tire levers indicates something else is going on. need more details---
i got some panaracer gravelking sk's 700x35mm. brand new, i could hardly imagine getting them on any of my several sets of wheels save one set araya single wall rims. tubeless ready, btw. they're meant to be tighter, but this was ridiculous. i had to stretch them before i could get them on the intended wheelset. i couldn't even get a lever in there to set the bead
