Stretch the tires for a few days, no glue, inflated on rim. Try to make sure they are straight, that will help later on. Do a dry test run after you think they've stretched, if too hard to mount, stretch a few more days. Follow the manufacture's directions, and dont rush it. It's only messy when you try to put the tires on when the glue is still too tacky. Personally, I prefer glue over tape, others may disagree.
