If you do a lot of tires, it's worth investing in some tire tools. For 2, take it to a shop. But, buy the tires at the same shop. My buddy has a tire shop, and people always calling him wanting to mount larger tractor tires they bought online cheaper. Price for mounting goes to $50 ea.
Being I collect antique/classic tractors, I have done quite a few. Most have been 24" to 36" rim size. I bought a slide hammer type bead breaker, and even the worst one's were broken off the rim in just a few minutes. Knowing how to use one is the secret. You need to go in pretty well flat ways until it hits the rim. Move over a few inches and do the same all the way around. Takes maybe 4-5 licks each spot. Then start around again driving downward each spot 4-5 licks. Most generally after moving 6 times, the tire literally drops down.
I have tires tools of all sizes, from 1" wide, 18" long, to the 42" long tire irons. Just need to press down the opposite side into the drop center, then start with a narrow tire spoon. Use a second one to catch what you have and chase it around. Just take baby bites as you go. Once you get about 1/3 the way around on the large diameter rim size, I can use the longer tools to bring it on off.
For the Lawn & Garden type front tires I use a couple huge screw drivers I picked up at auctions. Same method, baby bites both ways. In the past, I've used the strap method to get them to expand out on the rim. Had one 2 years ago off a Cub Cadet that gave me fits. One of those you just have to walk away for 10 minutes and regroup. Came in to get a cold drink and started looking for bead seater tanks. Checked on FB Marketplace, and a guy just posted a Cheetah bead seater tank for $40, and was only 15 miles away. Made the call and he still had it. Picked it up, and within 5 minutes of getting home, had that tire popped out on the rim. I've done 8-10 here on different sizes up to 15" rims. But mostly 8" and 12" rear GT tires. Works like a champ and has paid for itself many times over already. Even bought a rear tine tiller pretty cheap, because the guy couldn't get the tire out on the rim, so he discounted the price. I paid him for it, then went to the truck to get the tank. I asked him if he could rock it up on one tire so I could air it up. He told me he'd worked 2-3 evenings trying to get it aired up with a large compressor, and it would take more than the 5 gallon portable tank I came back with. I had the valve and dump tube turned away so he couldn't see it. He looked rather puzzled when I turned it around. Asked him to rock it up then I put the tube against the tire and dumped the air. WHOOSH, and the tire was seated. He stood there dumbfounded, and all he could say was S...O...B... I've been fighting that tire for 6 hours, and you got it seated in 1 second. It's all about having the proper tools when needed.
