How to reseat tire bead

I have stock sized firestone field and stream tires. 12-36. They are old, and worn down so I believed they are ideal for a hard track. Well at the last pull that wasn't a hard track I let out air so they'd grab. Went down to 8 psi in 6500# class. Now I hear some squeaking from the inner bead on one of the tires. Since then I've bumped it up to 16 but I can still hear it sqeak. And ideas?
 
Use soap and water or a leak detector fluid, to make sure it is
coming from the bead. Might be valve stem
Break tire down on that side and use a lot of bead sealer in
that area. Don't be stingy. You may want to seal the entire
bead.
 
I just had a 15.5 x 38 off for rim repair. Tire shop that did the work used the soap or what ever and aired it up to 19 psi and told me to take tractor out and drive it on rough ground to seat the bead and then check wheel wedges and drop tire pressure back to what I was using.
 
(quoted from post at 18:19:09 08/18/14) Field & Stream ??? Surely you mean Field & Road. If not I"d really like to see a picture of it.

I had been trying to picture the tread pattern of a field and Stream tire.
