Thought for sure that was supposed to be in pink. I don't believe it.

I was involved in some testing to help choose rubber compounds for these tires. I can't speak to the tubeless aspect, as I was testing them in regular tubed configuration, but Zipp has always been fanatical about the precision spec of both their rims and tires. Especially on the rim side, their goal is to always be exactly at ETRTO specification, which is especially challenging when molding carbon rims because of the natural variance that occurs with composites curing. But I remember when the Firecrest rims first came out, mounting tires on them was way easier. And they've worked to get that same level of precision on their tires.

I have no personal experience with these tires yet, but hopefully that gives some insight into the type of product development process that would lead to Zipp making that claim.

I'd be absolutely thrilled if that is the casse, because I'm tired of struggling to get tires on my ENVE 4.5 ARs. What a bitch. But now I wonder if Zipp's claim is more tire+wheel specific. I.e. Would I have the same problem because I'm riding ENVE hoops instead of Zipps?
