Well I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with this frustration. Yes, in my case, like Max's, there is a low spot caused by the bead not seating out in the correct position, though mine is just to one side of the valve stem, not on the opposite side.
I previously thought this poroblem was the product of some particular rim - tire combos. I have an old set of 26" Araya twin-hollow type rims that have never taken any Schwalbe tire, though my old Ritchey mtb tires seat just fine. I had assumed that the problem was a combination of a slightly small bead and the fact that twin hollow profiles provide a place for the bead to "go"- between the hollows- that a box section rim didn't. But my current problem doesn't follow that pattern. Maybe I'll try the soap and ride technique next.
