ILb-
How many sets of tyres did you order?
If you have a spare pair of 32mm tlc gimme a shout.
Edit: I ordered tubed type ages ago (they were cheap), got tlc version delivered (which I was happy about). They do give, but I find all the Panaracer tyres I've used a bit snug with my rims (Mavic), don't worry about it so much, see it as character building, repairing a road side puncture with gravelkings gives much entertainment for passersby.

Merlin have tubed type, but they're just as tough to get on initially. Give em time, they do stretch out a bit. Just take 2 half decent tyre levers when you go out for a ride.
