try going about 20% over the max tire pressure and leaving it for a bit.
dont blame me if it pops though

Deflate the tire. Lube up the bead with liquid dish soap . Over-Inflate the tire by about 30 PSI.
Let it sit overnight to stretch….
Check it the next morning . Repeat as required.
Thats how I do it, and it always works sometimes.

Don’t overinflate by 30psi for God’s sake, please.
Just deflate the tire a bit and try to wiggle the bead into place. If it won’t pop into place by putting lateral pressure on the tire, spray the area down with soapy water (get excessive) and re-inflate to max pressure.

Let a little air out – just enough you can manipulate the tire a bit. Put a drop of soap in a cup and fill the cup with water. Drip a tiny bit of this soapy water on your tire, and work it into the bead at the low spots. Reinflate your tire either to max pressure or until it pops into place. If you reach max pressure before it sets, coax the bead into place by tugging it/rolling it; look up the maneuver on YouTube if you don’t know it.
Once the bead is set, wipe off excess water, set your tire pressure, and go ride.

Gronk on it with your hands at a lowered pressure.
If that doesn’t work pump it into oblivion, and it will probably seat.
Make sure you don’t have the inner tube pinched between the rim and the tire bead

Deflate and fill again

Re-seat the tire. The tire bead is not connected to the rim.

Get some soapy water along the bead on both sides then inflate it.

5-10psi and use a tyre lever to lever the bead in place.
I have this issue with Schwalbe tyres on sun rims, no issues mounting on my mavic rims. I use a screwdriver.
Dish soap, tyre soap wd40 doesn’t work. Guessing clincher tyres dont like non clincher rims.

I’ve had really good luck using pedros bike lust polish to seat super stubborn tires. It’s a last resort though because it can be messy and you’ll want to clean the rims after

Swear. A lot. Then use soapy water and a slight overinflation. Use your hands to manually reseat at a low pressure and try again. Maybe try building up the rim seating height with more rim tape/gorilla tape.
When you’re over it, determine if the rim or the tire are shittier and upgrade that component.

Then if that doesn’t work, take up hiking.
