Maybe I have just been lucky over the years but here are my tips:
Always make sure the tyres are nice and warm (stick ‘em in the airing cupboard or on top of the range, if it’s not a sunny day.
Experts frown upon it, but I us3 a strong dilution of fairy liquid (proper tyre soap is the preferred option)
Sometimes you can get the tyres on by just treading around the edge, but I use levers most of the time.
Finally I always put a little air (not too much) in the tube before finally fitting, which lessens the chance of pinching the tube.
There you go!
