Here is how we set tires on the bead without a tire blaster-NOTE THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOU ALSO HAVE A WAY TO INFLATE THE TIRE. This is a 11R 24.5 Truck tire. This is how we do it in the woods if we bend a rim as well. Just use a sledge hammer to straigten the rim, and then dig a hole under the wheel so it is just hanging-not touching the ground, and then use the ether trick to set the bead. as soon as the ether explodes, you MUST get air to the tire, or this will not work; it will just deflate again.
