Cheers @hippy As a drummer, I have thumbs of steel; even they seem no match for this rubbery French beast. Will try the overnight trick, but never seemed to have as much hassle getting any Michelins on as this lot.
Stop using a tyre lever and use stronger thumbs?
You could try fitting the tyre only first to let it stretch a bit, say overnight, then try it with a tube.
