Agree with all comments re cable ties/toe straps etc.
Re comment about too difficult to fit on the road. when new, the m+ tyres have a profile more akin to an arched tunnel. When eventually fitted, you have pushed the beads closer (due to rim) and the profile becomes more that of an omega. After being on the rim for a while, the tyre takes up the omega shape, keeping it even when removed, so is easier to refit at a later date.
I'm assuming here you have a reasonably wide (say 35C) tyre. Narrow ones probably always a pig to fit!
