yeah, i understand that part, like where the bead part gets more narrow than the width of the tire.
but thats what the bead blaster is for!
when u get big ol truck tires with huge flipsy side walls, this tends to happen. u load up the bead blaster, put on the ear muffs, inject the air and it inflates the sidewalls enough to touch the bead on the rim! the bead blaster is essential, and bead locker, for stretched tires!

lol
doesn't help that we store tires outside in a re-purposed shipping container.
Cold tires, stored on side = fail, even with bead blaster haha

haha, the best part.
we tried with an old tire, and a old wrecked rim, stuff we saw on tv.
eg. in antartica or wherever super cold, if they somehow manage to deflate a tire, a quick "fire" way to fix it and reinflate it, would be to line the bead and inside with some lighter fluid, light it on fire, and the sudden change in temperature, pressure, should inflate the tire to catch the bead. we tried, we failed. i still have an old tire, and an old rim which i plan on trying once again another time  D
