Wasn't there a thread about this a few weeks ago? Anyways, I'd try taking out the valve core. Sometimes those are limiting just enough air that it won't be able to pop the bead on. Tire lube is your friend...and patience.

I find that dunlop slicks needs 50-60 psi, fully warmed on tire warmers and TONS of tire lube just to seat the bead. It scares the shit out of me as I always imagine it exploding in my face

I put them on with lube and they pop almost as soon as I throw some air in them. But I've changed a ton of tires so dunno. Maybe your not doing ALL the tricks. Lol

Guess not but they really are SUPER your on the rim before I set the bead. Not sure if that's normal or what
