Rudy,
ensure the valve stem (edited: core) is removed. that affords a more abrupt inflation. instead of the slow inflation that may not be dynamic enough to seat the bead(s).
Another trick is to use a ratcheting tie down around the circumference of the tire, centered on the contact patch. this helps prevent diameter expansion and allows a greater width expansion when seating the beads.
Tire snot. The jug type or the ‘drops of dishwashing soap in water’. Amsoil makes a metal protector that is a fine chain lube and it conditions rubber too. That is also usable.
