I ride a road bike and it was a struggle putting tyres onto the rim, thinking about how i could lubricate the tyre to reduce the friction from stopping it pop onto the rim, led me to think, what everyday object i could use. What i found was that using a plastic shopping bag worked like a charm, it stops the tyre from sticking to the rim and is easily inched onto the rims without having to push for dear life.
tl:dr - Use a plastic carrier bag to put bicycle tyres back onto the rim.
