2 things here, dont try beiting a raial tire, to get it on the bead, just wont work, especially with steel belted tires.  No. 2, most modern starting fluid is tame, may catch the tire aflame, but wont seat the bead, read the can ingredients.  Good luck.

We seem to be averaging 2"+ of rain a week since early March. I can barely mow grass let alone think about working dirt. I did manage to get potatoes planted in the garden.

Reminds of the gas station I worked at in college.  Mounting the tires was easy.  Getting them to inflate was often a chore.  Tire changer did not have an inflation ring
