As an ex pro tire fitter, let me say, NEVER use automotive or any other petroleum based grease on a tire. Over time it can attack the rubber and it doesn't dry up, so can encourage the tire to slip back off the bead seat if it comes under an extreme sideways force. These tires should only run about 15 psi max. If you don't have the correct type of tire soap (that's what we used to call it anyway) use some hand soap diluted in water. Not hand cleaner though, just from a bar of soap. I gave you a thumbs up though, because your rope 'belt' was spot on. We had a type of cinch strap which also had an inflatable tube inside it. And yes, a roof rack strap can help, though cheap ones may not be strong enough. Secondarily, if you can rest the rim on something so that the tire walls won't touch your bench or floor, you can then push down on the tire and the back bead, in this case, should come in contact with the back of the rim and pop onto the sealing face. I could see that every time you pushed the air line onto the valve stem, you pushed the rim away from the back of the tire. ;¬) A 'clip on' type air connector will help the situation too, as you'd have both hands mostly free.

@@Repurplecirculation You are correct in that silicone won't attack the rubber but, it is too slippery and doesn't dry or dissipate readily. Soap is the best. It stays fluid long enough (without drying) to seat the tire without becoming an issue later with a lateral force on the tire pushing it off the rim.

Good luck everyone on the contest!! Those little tires can be tough to re-bead. I used to work at Sears mounting tires after school on a Coats 10-10 machine. We had an inflatable tube we could place on the outside of the tire to serve the same purpose of squeezing the bead against the rim. Some of those old bias-ply tires could be pretty rough to seat. I love Zip's channel...he's a character to be sure!! Thanks, Bob.

Although, I did shoot the valve stem up to the ceiling on my first attempt. Thank you again. I do come to your channel often.

DW's method is a good one, too, but the starter fluid/lighted match method takes about 30 seconds. Let me tell you how I learned about it. (Profanity Warning) A old guy was watching some of us younger guys try to rebead a tire and really screwing it up. Finally he'd had enough and started in on us. "God fucking damn it. You fucking shits don't know fucking shit . . . " You know how it goes. So while he's igniting the air with profanity, he's getting brake fluid and a match. He puts a couple of squirts of fluid in the tire, and we all gather around. "Get the fuck back, you stupid fucks!" So we step back. He throws a couple of matches at the tire. The third one takes and the tire flips about five feet into the air and comes back down. We're all amazed that the tire is perfectly set. "You know what to do now, you stupid fucks." Lesson learned!

Then used air compressor at 100 psi like you said & BINGO! Replacing the valve put me down to 4psi. Hahaha. But successful! I scraped off the excess petroleum jelly to save for the next project. The tire seeded to the rim! Kudos to your sharing this info. ❤

I had to use two tourniquet ropes one over the left side of the tire and one over the right and then I pulled both of those tight as I could and then tied them off. I also used a little Vaseline around the edges of the rim. Then when I started the air a little hug and pressure started building. Yea! It worked. Thanks so much for this.

Hey this trick actually works thank you for showing me this video and for sharing with everyone I use it on my Monster moto mini bike tire cuz the front tire got a flat and I couldn't get the tire to seal to the rim and the bead of the tire. Thank you so very much bless you man a million times over this is lot better than setting a tire on fire with starter fluid which is very dangerous. I did the same thing you did but I only had to wrap around three times with the rope with a piece of pipe but I left the valve on until the bead got seated then I released the rope and filled it all the way. no need to take the valve out trust me for those of you who don't have a valve remover just put a rope around it squeeze it down in the center of the tire the side walls will press out and then begin to fill with air you'll have to go around at least three times to get a good Seated on the bead. I highly wouldn't recommend that you use a come along strap since that can be potentially very dangerous especially under great pressure a roping and a pipe is all you need don't mess around what the fire and starter crap or anything like that this guy has it down pat and it worked the first try for me.
