Compass Snoqualmie Pass Tires: too tight?

I love my Compass tires. I have more tires from Compass than I care to count. Hell, I recently gave a friend a pair of tires since "friends don't let friends ride crappy tires".

I just bought a new pair of the 700x44mm tires. I believe that these are the new models.

Took off my old 700x44mm tire easily. Tried to mount the new one on a Pacenti SL 25. NO GO.

Wait what?

Yes, NO GO. I took out the tube, left the tire mounted over night...stretch they say.

Tried to add the tube in the morning, NO GO. The clearance is just too tight and using a tire lever is too risky with the tube in there.

Any ideas how to fix this?
