Marc, I have these tires. They where some of the hardest to mount that I have ever worked with.
I didn't see anyone discussing rim strip. Make sure that the rim strips is as thin as possible, no fold backs, no laying on the bead seat. I use plastic rim strips because they are the thinnest. There are also plugs for the spoke holes by Velocity. The tires do loosen up after being at pressure. I can now easily remove them.
