Any suggestions of an easier tyre would be gladly accepted

Blisters on thumbs not a good look
It's not the tires, it's the rims. I have the same rims and the same tires fit a lot more easily on rims such as Mavic Open Pros.

I highly recommend using Pedro's tire levers or a tire jack if you still need more leverage.
