Soma makes a steel core plastic levers, I've used these well below freezing without fail and without damaging the rims, no plastic one will endure being frozen, I've even had Pedros levers snap in two. Buster Raid Pretty robust - Used them for years. I have broken one in the past but most other tyre levers would have given up way before the Pedro's did.

I found you need a short luggage strap to get them on - it holds the tyre in place until you get most of it on. The Tacx levers are hands down the best levers on the market. However, if you need to get a GP5000 tubeless tyre onto a carbon rim, the Cycle Pal Tyre Seating Tool is a life saver... TyreKey is pretty good too 👍 It must be your technique, as I have Zonda wheels with GP4000s & have always fitted & removed them by hand. They aren't the easiest, but I don't have extra strong hands/thumbs either.

Either end is labelled with ‘Remove’ or ‘Install’ and the installation end clips to the rim, seemingly regardless of width or whether the rim is hookless or not. These levers have a small but clever extra wrinkle that makes mounting tyres a breeze. They're also super tough and can deal with the tightest tyre/rim combinations. They're among the best tyre levers you can buy, and they're also compact so very easy to stash away. As far as possible that means recommending equipment that we have actually reviewed, but we also include products that are popular, highly-regarded benchmarks in their categories.Schwalbe says: "Makes changing tires a snap. The new shape and surface of the tire lever makes the assembly and disassembly of a tire more enjoyable. For both tires and hands too!

Park Tool’s plastic TL-4.2s have a wide tip with a precise edge that makes it easy to initially lift the tyre off the rim. Sometimes there's just no substitute for a lengthy slab of metal to get the leverage needed to shift a really stubborn tyre from the rim. That's where Park Tool's 20cm-long steel tyres levers come in, providing the oomph needed to separate even the tightest tyre and rim combination. They're heavy, and if your daily ride needs levers this beefy to shift the tyres you might consider a change of tyre and wheel combination, but if you sometimes encounter hard-to-shift tyres, it's worth having a pair in your toolbox.

Whether installing or removing the tyre, teasing it loose with the smaller lever and then changing to the larger one is key.
