I have been trying to get my tires onto my rear rim, a 6.1d. They are ridiculously hard to get on and I have pinch flatted the tubes the past 3 times. Is there a trick or something that I dont know about, ive been using 2-3 tire levers... I have a 5.1d on the front and that was easy to get a tube into...

Install the tire onto the rim without a tube first. That should help stretch out the bead just enough so that when you re-do it with a tube you won't have to strongarm it and risk pinching them again.
