from my exact question some months back....
24" levers from ebay help me (although people advocated you shouldn't actually need these at all, just working with feet)
talcum powder round rim of tyre
two G cramps to compress the sidewalls on "the far side from the final bit to pull on" - this keeps the tyre bead deep in the central well rather than in the outer rim - and suddenly you get enough tyre to work with
I've JUST done two 15" now, working slowly, on a carpeted area, with weak wrist and feeling crummy from jab yesterday! All done and feeling smug.
BTW, do you really want 450 x 17? They will make your steering heavier....
