i really struggled with my minion, i put it near the radiator for a while so the rubber got softer then it went on miles easier

There are a few tips:

Turn the tire inside out for a night
Blow the tire to max tyre/rim pressure and leave over night

The best is use gt85 around the rim and bead and then inflate to max pressure...works for me!
