I went by the lbs today, bought some stronger tire levers and finally got the guy mounted. Thanks for the help!
Update: Went for a short ride, but I would already recommend the tire. I'm running a 26x1.9 town and country in the back and the 26x1.75 travel contact in the front. Fairly low rolling resistance and handles great! Maybe its the excitement or maybe its replacing the 9 y/o tire, but I love it!
