The rims are two large in diameter. It is nearly impossible to get the tires on the CR18's even in the shop with heavy irons and impossible on the road with plastic tire irons. On the ZAC's it is hard to get the tires on but it is not terrible. The bead won't seat in the rim though. There is always a point where the bead is too low and won't come up making for a nice low spot in the tire. Both documented problems that I found after I bought.
