Tire Irons

Tire Bead Jack works really well. I've also heard throwing the tire in the dryer for a few seconds to loosen it up

I really hacked up my rims using Kings stainless levers. Not sure of experiences with these, but metal on metal is usually not a good thing.

when plastic doesnt work, I suggest lezyne alloy or the park tool lever

the lezyne you can carry on the road - the park not so much

I bought two pair of the Lezyne levers when they first came out. Looked good but were worthless. Too short to get much of a grip on. Threw both pair away.
