Has anyone tried just putting the tyres next to a radiator before you put them on? Also leaving a tube inflated inside a tyre for a while or using washing up liquid. I used to have a trials motorbike and if you think bike tyres are hard you should try changing them.
Regardless, ambient temp makes a big difference to how easy it is to put tyres on.
