Ensure the bead is fully in the center channel of the rim all the way around before inflating. Check for any debris on the rim or tyre bead. Use tyre levers carefully for the last section if needed.

Inspect the tyre tread and sidewalls thoroughly for embedded glass, thorns, or sharp objects that may have penetrated the belt. Also, check the inside of the rim and the rim tape for any sharp edges or damage.

Verify the tyre is inflated to the correct pressure. A tyre that is over-inflated can feel harsh. Ensure the wheel is properly seated in the frame/fork dropouts.

Gently clean the reflective strip with a damp cloth. If it is peeling, it may be a manufacturing defect; contact the retailer. Avoid abrasive cleaners on the reflective surface.
