Average quality or faulty in the production 16 inch 305x47
The tyre seems to be very good quality and the thread would really suit my needs as my bicycle cargo trailers original tyre is quite thin and skinny, and I would not like to start fixing punctures every day on longer bike tours. So Schwalbe Marathon tyre seemed to be perfect choice... BUT I have spend yesterday 4 hours trying to fit the tyre on 16 inch 24 mm wide rim. No success. It goes on the rim quite easy, but then one or another side of the tire does not pop up out off the rim, and the tyre is both egg shaped and curvy, looks like it is too small for the rim. The original Kenda tyre fits perfectly round on the rim. With this Schwalbe Marathon I have tried all the methods, no success, tyre ends to be oval and not balanced at all... .
