Good thread... Will you also need a decent air compressor to seat the bead? Or use the spray-starter-fluid trick?

A good volume of air helps, a friend tried with a small compressor, gas station pump too, no dice. My 20 gallon popped it on in 2 seconds.
 
Helps if you're changing tires in summer & not winter, ask me how I know

Leaving your tires on the drveway out in the sun for a few hours definatele helps.Running over the edge of your old tire while its still on the rim with your car is also a great ghetto trick for breaking even the toughest bead.There's also the method of mounting your tire with nothing but zip ties,haven't tried that one yet.
 
I just did this with a set of Pilot Road 4 GTs and it really is as easy as it looks,they literally just slid right on. Dyna beads are great I have just over 3000km with them now.

i use them. Two sets of tires, zero problems thus far. You can even reuse them if they are in good condition after a change. I was told that unless you're racing they are fine (racing = softer compound, higher sustained speeds). I detect no vibrations at low speeds or high speeds on my bike with touring tires.
 
Here's an easy way to break stubborn beads:
