The tyre was fitted with a MP T6 combo spanner and a pair of 8" MP enduro levers. The carcass on this tyre is very still.

Getting an 09 on has never really been the issue. However, without a substantial bead breaker, removal can be fun. Plenty out there in the ether describing the process. That said, this tyre has never caused me any grief. Wet, dry. Sealed, unsealed. No doubt the cause for the difficult removal (the XT's safety bead is a part) is the reason why I have not had any puncture issues.
I simply cannot fault the E09!
