some times when u slam the tire to the ground it pushes the tire out a bit do that a few times if u push the tire in and have someone pump air in to at the same time it fills up


or the ether trick spary some round the tire and lit it and most of the time it pops on

sit in the sun with some spacers in it (like 2x4s) to spread it out. I have used an innner tube or pice of heater hose to fill in one gap between the tire and rim (not inside) and let the opposite side pop on the bead first, then remove the tube and place the rim on a milk crate on small table that you can push the tire down against the bead while filling with air. If you do the Ether trick BE CAREFUL!!!

Make sure you lube the bead up. Dish soap would work ok. Be careful with the ether thing, especially with a light tire like that, could pop. Take the valve core out of the stem, it'll get more air.

bring it to a shop?

make sure your compressor has the balls to do it...... lube bead up with PB.
You have the right size tire right?

Lots and lots of lube, dont be shy with it!
