I have used the Speed Lever many times with mixed results until I devised an improvement. The problem with tight sticky tires is that it has a tendency to slip off instead of sliding the tire off, sometimes with unfortunate results. Twice I smashed my thumb on a spoke when it slipped. I have solved this problem with a loop of 1" nylon webbing that I slip over the head of the tool before inserting it under the rim. Once the tool is clipped over the hub, I then pull the nylon webbing at about a 30 degree angle away from the rim. This seems to improve the action as well as keeping my hand safe.
