Your experience matches mine. I got a pair of Vittoria Rubino Pro III tires at a garages sale for a couple of bucks still in the original boxes. My regular Kenda Kadence tires go on easily often without tire irons. The folding tires were so difficult that I tossed them out. Didn't want to get a flat on the road and have that much trouble reinstalling the tire. Not much of a loss though. I will stick with non-folding tires in the future as every time I tried using them I had similar problems.
