There is a fellow on Utube that sprayed some WD40 in a Large Tire ,then
applied a Flame and it seated rather quickly.

Charles,

I hand mounted all six wheels in my garage with good tire irons. Took about
20 minutes a tire. The real trick is filling the tire with are to get it to
seat.properly. I used a good 2" cargo strap around the circumference of
the tire and removed the valve core from the Schrader valve.

Paul,

I have a big (80 gallon tank, 3 cylinder dual stage) compressor and it was
not a problem as far as PSI and volume at home to fill the tire. It is on
the road where the strap may help. That little compressor in the coach is a
bit lacking when you need a strong surge.

Starter fluid (ether) is much more effective and far more dangerous/fun.

Most of the desert rats use starting ether. It is part of the standard
desert tool kit for those guys.
