Is it possible? I got the old one off, but can't seem to stretch the new one enough to get the bead pried over the rim. Same size tire. What's the trick??

Something to lube the rim and smaller bites at the tire. Put two tubes in tires on a tiller today while on the tiller because they will never come off the axle.

That portion of the tire that is put on first must go to the recessed portion of the rim.
