Tires may be an off size. Go ahead and rob the unused bike. This build is looking great!
 
It's kind of like the tires are off center l checked the rims and they are to see if off but are fine.
They could have bad bead alignment. Many times if they make a bad batch, those tires can be shipped to the same distributor and then the customer can end up with a bad pair.

If they can be returned, they should take them back. Doesn't solve you needing tires to finish your build ASAP though!

I think it is because of the bead being small compared to other tires I have. Fooled around with them yesterday I think I got them good enough going to ride it around the neighborhood today and see how they do. I can't return them because I got them used.
 
Went for a test ride with the grandson hoping it would help seat the tires. I don't feel anything riding so I'm just going to roll with it. I'm wondering if it's from having them hanging up?

Grandson wanted to get his ride in a pic too.

Might see if I have a little bit bigger cog for the rear wheel to make for a little easier peddle not that it's hard just more than I like for cruising.
Just need to get some finished thread pic's.
Now to finish up my unlimited build.
 
Those green rims really pop, that was a good choice. The bike looks great and the bikes look cool together. It’s great that your grandson like to ride with you. 😎
