Default One tight tire!

I recently had to replace a tire on an old(Suntour freewheel)700c
wheel.I got the old one off OK but I could get the new one on for the
life of me.So I took it into a shop and the guy manaaged to install it
with a great deal of difficulty.It was only one day until I had another
flat and I couldn't get the darn tire off.Are there any tricks for
getting a tight fit on?What could be causing this?I know the tire
should be pinched to give it more slack but that was inadequate in this
case.Thanks.

Same thing with 700Cx28 Specialized Armadillo and Mavic MA3 rim. It took a
great deal of brute force to put it all together. I cannot even imagine
patching a tube at the road side. Hopefully the tire seem to be pretty
bombproof.

That sounds like the winning ticket.
