Usually manage to get the tire on the rim with my thumbs. A little patience and arranging the tire on the rim and it'll go on without levers. Won't work for every tire/rim combination but it's been a long time since I found one that won't go on that way. A tire pushed on with thumbs doesn't damage the tube.
