I really don't recommend anyone try to mount a current street tire using tire irons. Off road tires are another mater .
Use your phone and call for help or use a temp plug.
Even with tubes todays tubeless tires mounted with tubes are much
harder to work with today then years ago.
Many times people have brought me wheels with a tire half off or half on and a scarfed up rim and a tire with the bead ruined.
The beads on todays tires are much stronger and wider then tires of
years ago. Once a bead is bent (even in shipping) it will not mount
right even with a tube in it.
