Buy a few tire irons, and you can learn to mount tires.

The CSC Shop Talk video on tires says to use 1 or 2 tire irons.....I prefer 3.

When you put the 3rd one in, the middle one loosens; you then use that one to take the next "bite" of the tire.

Watch a few YouTube videos on tire changing.

And use lots of tire lube. I've used soapy water, Windex, and currently......I have found the personal lubricant works really good....
