Some tyres have very stiff side walls that make changes harder. The temperasture also changes things - the warmer teh tyre the more flexable it is.
As someone above said - get the bead into the centre of the rim to make things as easy as possible.
I've had so many flats I no longer need to practice. Oh - if you use that slime stuff .. take spare tubes .. patching slimed tubes is not something I'd try again.
