Another few data points ... Rat Trap Pass tires on Sun CR18 26" rims are excessively tight, Stampede Pass on Mavic MA2 700c rims are extremely tight, and Grand Bois Cerf blue 700c tires on Fir rims (not sure model) are absurdly tight. On the other hand, Rat Trap Pass on the Velocity deep V rims on my CoMotion tandem are a bit loose, and Chinook Pass and Stampede Pass on DT TK540 rims are just right. My experience has been that it's primarily the rims that appear to have the variance. My Sun 26" rims are tight with most tires I've tried on them, ditto for the MA2 and Fir rims.
