I use Michelin tire levers exclusively. I have a couple in my home tool box that I have had for over 15 years. If you are having lots of trouble mounting tires it is more often than not a case of having a tire bead set before you get the tire completely on. Once you have got the tire to the tight stage let a bit of air out of the tube and massage the tire so the bead is sucked into the rim well. This usually gives you some slack to get the tire on. 90% of the tires I mount I can get on without tire levers by using this technique.
