Eric, my experience was very similar to yours. Col de Vies on Weinmann ZAC19 rims, which have even deeper wells than the Synergy and are commensurately harder to get a tire to bead up properly.
Better tires and better rims definitely improved the experience! Now I ride mostly Pari-Motos on Pacenti PL23 rims.
