Like Marathon Marke said, it's the tire/rim combination. I own EA50 and EA70 wheels and have experienced your situation. Example: Kenda Kriteriums go on hard, while Vittoria Diamante Pros go on easily.
These Easton aero wheels are not the easiest to install tires on or sure. There have been many of threads expressing the dislike haha. I believe mine weighed in around 1800 gr or so. Those were the Ea50 clinchers.
