Hi,
I just mounted brand new 32mm Goodyear F1 Tubeless tires on 19mm internal rims, and they are measuring up at 26mm. This feels drastically wrong to me, but I was hoping to see if anyone had a similar experience - check if this is expected, and if I should see a huge increase come with stretching. Otherwise, take this as a warning that there may be some wakcy QA issues with Goodyear tires.

Based on articles when the tyre launched, I think there may be a couple things at play 1) the tyre is designed to be 32 mm actual width on a 21mm internal rim (not 100% this is the case but it is listed as the optimal width on the website) 2) Goodyear measures this width after period of inflation (24hrs?) to allow for the tyre to stretch.
Also, maybe send a support request to Goodyear direct.
