But I wouldn't be happy. My first step would be to put on the thinnest possible rim tape. If I still couldn't get the tire on/off reasonably easily, the tire would be 'outta here' .
BTW, I just crossed 40 mm Michelin gravel tire off my list. Is that a 'tubeless-ready' tire?
Yes, it is tubeless ready. The bike shop keeps talking me out of going tubeless. They must be vested in repairing flats :-)
