I came up with a cheap and easy way to mount tires.
I used zip ties. I started with the small ones I had at home but they were not strong enough. so I went to harbor freight and picked up a nice cheap pack.
then I installed one every 6-8" and cinched it downed until the beads were touching.
then I put one side on and fitted the beads to the center of the rim where its the deepest and try to push it on as far as you can.
then put your knees on the tire near the middle and press the tire on working from the outside to the center. or you could use a rubber mallet to help.
edit; I did use soap and water as you can see on the black.
I hope this will help someone...
