Modern carbon rims and tires create a real challenge for traditional tire levers, and the new wave of tubeless setups have take the challenge to the next level. Tire fits are tighter than they’ve ever been, while carbon rims require non-metal levers to resist damage to the bead or brake surface during use.
Previous solutions to this problem have involved using a metal core inside of a plastic lever, however this solution has its own challenges as the core of the lever is where you can add the least stiffness and strength. This leaves metal core levers both less stiff and heavier than they need to be.

Would recommend
I purchased these tire levers a number of years ago but wasn't over impressed with them compared to a couple of other brands of bicycle tire levers I have, that was until I was asked by a 98 year old gentleman to repair a flat tire on his four wheeled walking frame (little note, it's a carbon fibre frame 😀) The Premio Tire levers worked exceptionally well getting the tire bead over the edge of the plastic rim so I could access the tube to carry out a repair. The Premio Tire Lever was also use to get the tire bead back over the rim each. Long story short, a 98 year old is now mobile once again thanks to the Premio Tire Lever
These should hold up better than other brands that are just plastic. These are a big upgrade over another brand that I snapped during last tire install.
I've used several other tire levers, including steel core Park Tool, but these are my favorite for the following reasons:
1. They are very light and compact for storage while riding
2. They are very strong. I have confidence they won't break when installing tight fitting GP5000 or other tubeless gravel & MTB tires
3. They do not pinch/poke/tear my latex tubes during installation & removal, unlike the Park Tool lever which has a sharp tip at the end.
These have my full recommendation.
