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.
These are my not buy tires. The Schwalbes were the worst, even with the bead jack.
