Can't get y 650 Gator Skin on my 650 H+son

This is driving me up the fucking wall.
It just won't go on. The tyre is too stiff. I could only just get one side in but can't get the other side in all the way round. Just wrecked one inner tube trying to sort it, ripper a fucking massive whole in it to be precise. The edge of the tyre is just tooo stiff.

Any suggestsions / tips. I really want to finish my build tonight.

htfu? sorry,sorry...

Wedge an old spoon in and use that to get the tyre onto the rim. Never needed to, but you could also try heating the tyre with a hair dryer. might work.

Good luck!

try pumping the inner tube up a bit once you have one side of the tyre on, should help

Go around the tyre pushing the bead into the recess of the rim, this should give you a bit of slack, usually enough to push the last bit over.

This is not the first time this has been posted. New tire?

Try and stretch the tyre.

lube it up baby !! and use blunt instruments !

+1 take it off, stand with your feet on the inside and pullllllll the other edge towards you like a big elastic band, talc is also good for getting it in.
I had similar probs with a conti a long time ago, theres a thread on here somewhere..

EDIT: seems its so old, its not on here anymore, however I do remember being told to HTFU.

all you need is better quality labour

the only possible answer is HTFU. new gators are a real pain in the ass sometimes

of course your tyre's too small. It's a 650.
