I've got Ultra Sport tyres on a few of my bikes, in both wire and folding form.
The ones with wire beads are on 27 inch wheels, and I've found these to be noticeably easier to fit than the folding tyres which are on 700c wheels.
The folding tyres are very tough to fit, and I usually end up using tyre levers to get them on the rim - I've found that Schwalbe tyre levers are very good, and I've not pinched a tube while using them.
