Not exactly. TLR means that the rim profile can accommodate a TL tire. In OP's case, it also meant that it was sold with TLR tire. Seems anecdotally the case that TL tires mounting on TLR rims tends to be more difficult. For that matter, mounting even tubed (non TL) tires on TLR rims is more often problematic than would be on non TLR rims.
