Two.
damnit I hate those wire beaded kevlar-reinforced puncture-resistant tires! I mean, I love them, but damn are they hard to get on. I managed to get the rear one on myself last night when I was putting my fixie back together, but the front proved much harder (I think the Scotch-tape rim tape might have something to do with that...).
When Lenore got there we went at it together. It took the two of us and two tire levers to get it on. Kind of a funny scene, us sitting there with a wheel between us fighting with a tire.
(I know a lot of people are like DO NOT USE TIRE LEVERS TO PUT ON A TIRE! but I do it anyway. Maybe I'll stop when I pop a tube).

hi cycle sass,
use thin rim tape and make sure the bead is down at the smallest rim diameter when trying to get the last bit on. Lastly, i found the wirebead gatorskins easier to install. from john
