Put the wheel in yer truck and head out to the local volunteer fire department. Ask them to use the Jaws of life to put a squeeze on the tire to break the bead. Rotate the wheel and do it a few more times around the rim. The bead will break free and the tire can be reused. Make sure you take the valve stem out before squeezing the tire. This is how I do all of my tires. Of course I have access to the equipment, being a member of the VFD.
This is assuming your local VFD has the tool, some don't.
