Can anybody recommend tyres that fit Campagnolo Khamsin wheels properly? I've just wrestled some Continental tyres on (a Grand Prix 4000 and a Duraskin) - very tight fit. Even with pumping up to v high pressure and using washing up liquid as a lube - they still don't fit the rims very well (it will feel like I'm cycling over a bumpy road even on smooth tarmac).
So does anyone use tyres that actually fit these wheels?

    I use Michelin pro-race 2's (soon to be replaced by pro-race 3's) on my Scirocco rims with no problems at all. I had the misfortune to once put Conti's on some Vento rims. Never again.

    Hi i had problems with my tyres also. The best one,s that i have tried are the Schwalbe Stelvio folding tyres, i got them on without even having to use a tool, all done by hand. Greetings Ademort

    Never really had a problem but aware Campag clinchers have a reputation for being tight. I've settled on Conti GPs/ Ultragators etc, now always folding versions as easier to fit / remove and seem to fit ok, never had one come off or wobble around.
