The bontrager jones folding tyres that came on my trek 6300 are dead, so i've replaced them with bontrager jones XR. i didnt realise when i bought them that the XR's had an aramid bead as they are tubeless ready.
They are a total B#####D to fit, i snapped my levers and everything! the old jones could be flicked off with a finger, and fitted without any levers at all
Are all aramid bead tyres like this?

No, they'll get easier once they've been broken in a bit.0

Aramid beads are normal for folding tyres."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
