Avoid levering the tyre on at all costs - rub a little bit of washing up liquid all round the bead and even the tightest damn tyre in the world will go on so easily you wouldn't believe it. And if you've got a brake don't get a drop on the rim... you're brake will probably work but it'll make a right racket
