Have you tried wrapping a ratchet strap around them?

I usually have to do that to E load range truck tires.

You beat me to it. That is how I set some gokart tires once. Worked great

Yep Ratchet Strap, soap water on the bead, high pressure air, wiggle the rim and watch the fingers!

That pinch would leave a mark for sure

IF that does not work a little starter fluid and blow it on the rim!

Quick 3 sprays at differents sides and quick hit with the tourch and boom shes on lol btw anyone reading this if you attempt remove valve stem core and use very little fluid dont need much but im not recommending this method i still have burn scars from exploding tires

Huh? I would have thought that they would have been closer to stated size. My 27" Ripsaws were very close @ an actual 26.875".

 

[jak9922]

I was mounting 35s once and couldnt get it set so being as impatient as i am i used like an entire can and the tire literally exploded i had crazy burns on my neck chest and shoulder it wasnt good but i was laughing so hard

I'm running 10psi. No "bulge" at the bottom, but the tread is not "ballooned". They were shipped mounted on my 14" rims, and that was the psi they all were at. Didn't see any reason to change.
