I'm probably way too late to this thread to help anyone...but Motion Pro Bead Pro tire levers make installing/removing tires with Cush Core super-easy...well much easier than with standard levers anyway. I'm a fairly big guy and run CC with Maxxis DH or DD tires. The biggest problem I've encountered is trying to break the bead after it's been well sealed and practically glued to the rim. I have the Motion Pro levers for my motorbike, and it's the bead breaker function of it that's so valuable with CC inserts. Spendy for sure, but if you're already riding motos and do your own work, or if you're a professional mechanic looking to save time on stubborn rim/tire setups, it's a good investment.
