My Continentals are, ah, actually loose to put on. I am the most mechanically challenged person in the world. I went to a tire/repair workshop a couple of weeks ago and I was dreading putting the tire back on (I didn't have any flats with them this year). To my surprise, the mechanic told me mine were actually loose and she showed me some tricks for getting them back on the rim.

Silver had me petrified of having to work with these tires...
