I've had tires that needed a bead jack, and some that would blow off the rim if not mounted carefully. The brands were Continental and Schwalbe.

Since I mount my own tires, it would be a rather freak occurrence if I got caught without a bead jack by surprise while on a ride. If the tires are tight when I put them on, I throw a bead jack in the bag. One bike in the family fleet has tires that are so tight, that they're just not serviceable in the field. In general, bikes that are "for experts only" are an impediment to the enjoyment of cycling.
