Recommendations for bike wheel rim lube
#26
Often a too tight tire (which won't seat well) will be less problematic after some miles ridded at pressure. But life is full of uncertainty and tire seating is one such example. If you absolutely need a tire to seat well before you continue your ride chose one that seats when newly mounted. Andy

Have you ever changed a tire? Notice how loose it is on the rim until you inflate it? That's when you align the bead seat line with the rim, with your hands. It doesn't take any strength at all. The only tools needed are opposable thumbs, and a pump to inflate the tire afterwards.
Try it. Go let the air out of one of your tires. Notice that the tire is now loose on the rim and can easily be repositioned. Now do you see why tire levers would never be needed?

Hello
deflate
spray with glass cleaner
overinflate by 25%
wait overnight (you might hear it pop)
I bet the next time you have to remount you will not have the problem
