I ordered the tyre for an older road bike in size 25-622. The "old" tyre (different model) says 700x25c, which should actually be the same size. Unfortunately, it only lasted 2 years. But now it doesn't fit, it's too big. The rim says 622-13, i.e. 13mm rim width. According to the ETRTO table, it should actually fit. What have I done wrong?

Tyre is very hard and extremely demanding to mount. But I was able to mount it on 622-14 and it fits. For 13 it is probably too stiff. Order a lighter tyre.
