Jesus you're making a mess of that. You need to get the bead over the wall of the wheel in one spot with your shitty plastic spoons. Stretch it to the point you think you're going to rip it. Once a small portion of the bead is over then is a spoon to walk it out along the rest of the wheel.
Soap can help but makes it more slippery for your tools.
Because you cut the tire and it's flexing. Don't cut the tire unless you want to cut it all off
Start somewhere else. You really gotta jam the spoons in there
Spray on soapy water, use 2 thick and not shitty butter knives or go buy real tire irons not that plastic thing, apply gentle heat. Getting tires on you can sometimes use zip ties around new tire to push it on
You may as well just cut it all the way through if you can. Some tyres are just motherfrickers to remove, especially reinforced puncture resistant ones or tubeless.
If your tyre levers are crappy and just bend when you try to lever the edge of the tyre out, use a breadknife instead. With either tool, insert it straight down between the tyre and the rim until it hits the inside base of the rim. Then rotate the handle 180 degrees, lifting the tyre bead out and over the edge of the rim. Once you have a small edge lifted out, use a second tool to glide around the edge of the rim from that point, lifting the rest of the tyre bead out.
If that doesn't work with either a tyre lever or a bread knife, I dunno what to tell you. Shit's fricked, you're probably gonna have to get in there with a dremel or snips and try to cut the bead without fricking the rim.
Surprise, someone who can't understand traffic lights can't change a tire. The knife was the wrong choice. Basic use of a lever around the edge is all you need.
t. lived around thistles in childhood and changed tubs fricking constantly. Slim only slowed it down.
moron for using scissors >deflate tyre fully >put on lever under >lever up >at one of the points now partially lifted up on either side of the first lever insert second lever >second lever up >push both levers at the same time to force bead over wall, push the bit in between the lever with your thumb if necessary >push the bit of tyre that is now off perpendicular to the wheel (standing) >tyre should come off from there

the lever slips off and the tire goes back into place whenever i try to pull on it more

Great way to bend spokes.

>*brit cop screams*
I'm not sure how you even figured out how to post here.
Does the bike have training wheels?
>be me
>own a bike
>occasionally have to replace inner tubes
>easily get the tire off with two plastic tire tools
Maybe look up a video tutorial or something? It’s seriously not hard, OP
