Jim, Hopefully you aren't trying to put the tire on the rim with the tube in the tire. Best way I know of to mount the tire is to lay the rim on a good hard clean surface with the valve stem hole facing upward. Mix up some soapy water and sponge down the beads of the tire. Lay the tire over the rim at an angle and put your foot on top of the tire at the low side. Take a couple of big screw drivers or, if you have them, use tire irons. Work the lower bead onto the rim. Once on, now insert the deflated tube into the tire and work the valve stem into the hole ensuring that you pull the valve stem firmly into the hole. Now start working the upper bead onto the rim the same way you did the first bead. Make sure you don't pinch the tube with the end of the tools you are using or you could end up repatching the tube. Once the top bead is under the rim, slide the tire around until the valve stem is straight with the hole and make sure you remove the valve core from the stem. Inflate the tube to seat the beads of the tire. Let most of the air escape from the tube which helps to ensure there are no wrinkles in the tube. Now put the core into the stem and re-inflate to desired pressure. Put the valve cap on and remount the tire. If all this fails, take the tire and tube to the tire shop and let them do it. Sometimes it's worth the money to admit defeat. I know because I just did it this week. I took it back to where I bought the new tire and they mounted it for nothing.//FB
