When you try to install really tight tires that last 8-10" just wont go on the rim.
And it's too tight just to place a lever in the middle, so you have to go at it from one end.
Problem is the other end slips off the rim.
Tie one end of that last piece with parachute cord around the tire and rim and it wont slip. Make sure to bind it several times.
Now you can lever the last piece into the rim starting at the untied end using two levers.

It's the only way I can get Conti 5000's on my rims, and the 5000 TL's are even tighter.
