Has anyone suggestions for an easy to fit road/race tyre for a deep set of carbon rims (Mavic Comete 60mm, I think) I was running Continental Gp5000's, punctured this morning, could not get the tyre back on the rim, got a lift home and after many hours, lots of cussin, I still cannot get the tyre on. I've tried everything, they just don't / won't fit, I dunno how I got them on in the first place! I tried the old tyre that originally came with the wheels (Mavic Yukon UST) and I can get it to seat. However I can't find these tyres anywhere online, they're discontinued! If anyone has any experience with the racier Schwalbe's or Michelins, that are easy to fit on a deep carbon rim please let me know!

Not the Schwalbe/Michelin tyres, but we've been using Pirelli P Zero Race and have found them easier to get on than GP5000's.
