Some find GravelKing tires easy while others curse them. You see it play out of forums- someone comments on how difficult a tire is and someone else comments that the same tire and size was so loose it damn near fell off.

I have GK tires in 43mm SS, 32mm Slick, and 28mm Slick. The 43mm SS and 32mm Slick were both easy to get onto the rims. The 28mm Slicks were a bear. They are on 3 different wheelsets.
Its a relative crapshoot.
