Plastic tire irons are no match for this brute. And not long enough for any leverage.
Can anyone recommend a stout lever with extra length?

Yes, John, but if the fit is so tight, what do you do if -- and I don't wish this on you -- you get a flat somewhere in the wilds of Bergen County?
If it's so fracking hard to get the tire on at home, how hard will it be on the side of the road to get the tire off to replace/repair the tube, and then back on again?
Really, is it the rim or the tire? Do other tires go on easily on that Easton rim? If not, sell those wheels.
Dave,
who says dumb blondes never make sense which is the term he uses for things that may look good but don't operate too darn well
