im either really weak or the tire is really strong, im trying to use a tire spoon to get the original tires off of my rims but the sealant was heavy loaded on the tire so it wont budge. any special techniques work?

run over the tire with your car.  just don't run over the rim.  push the tire against your car tire lining it up so the car will run over the tire as close to the rim as possible.  you may have to rotate it an run over from a few different spots.  if that doesn't work, you may need a vehicle with straighter sidewalls...I had one that wouln't come off with my wifes explorer, but as soon as i ran over with my 3/4 ton truck with less flex in the sidewall, it popped off

You can't use a tire spoon to break the bead. Get a bead breaker. Bonk
