Put a stick in between the strap and the tire, twist it tighter.
Or put a tube in the tire...
Or for real fun get a can of starting fluid, give it a good shot, then use your
propane torch to light 'er up. Be VERY careful about this... I use the torch so
I can stand farther away from the tire while its happening. You'll be very
surprised how big the tire gets...

How
the hell do you get one of them fat lawn tractor tires to seat on the
rim? I am clueless here. The rim is like 8 inches wide and the tire
beads are about four inches apart. I have tried putting a ratcheting
strap around the tire, but I need to figure out how to get the beads
apart so it will hold air and inflate.
