I used to be able to mount them just using my thumbs, now find myself breaking out the tire jack. Never never never use tire irons to mount a tire, or you will surely end up getting a pinch flat.
Just to be clear, you don't think a lever should be used to mount a tire?
I haven't done that for a long, long, long, long time. Haven't had to resort to the tire jack that I have in recent memory, either.
