Every brand of tyre I have used always had, " Use on hooked rims only"
I have some Schwalbe Marathons that say "use on crotched rims only" Is it the same thing?:unsure:

They mean croched rims ( from the French for hook ) - so yes they are the same.

I think they have to put that on in case some moron tries to put one on a tubeless rim.

High pressure tyres require a lip or hook around the inner edge of the rim to prevent it blowing off the rim.

Some rims, especially older steel ones won't have this.
