Tire off rim- cannot get it seated

[Gregory OConnor]

If the seam is small less than an inch,you can ice up a tube of
grease and gush it in the gap. I do this weekly on skid steer tires.

I have a blow tank for tractor tires and dont use it because I have
split a sidewall on an old tire and the dogs head for the hills when
it blasts. new tires fair well .

I've done the starter fluid and match thing but would rather check
for ground shorts with my tongue.

truthfully starter fluid or the blow tank are safer than ropes and
chains around the tire. once seated, removal of the chains is
dangerous. I agree with Kurt.$60. get you a mobile tire man. they
use a rubber tension band in place of a ridgid rope or chain.
