it's all about volume

On small tires or ones that will almost seat on their own then it's probably not worth spending the time to pull the core out, the blaster will get the job done just fine.

On big tires like on my loader (23.5 x 25) when it hits minus 40 things contract just enough that a couple of tires will start loosing air past the rim rings.

I keep a bottle jack under the back wheels in the winter so they do not completely pop off the rim when this happens.

I can hook a hose to it and let it blow 140 psi all day long and it will not re-seat the tire.

I take out the whole valve core, not just the stem and screw an air hose fitting right on to it, hook the air line to it and there is enough volume moved through it to overcome the leaks and seat the beads.

So go one step at a time until something works;

Step 1 Try the air hose

Step 2 Try the hose and blaster

Step 3 Pull the stem them use hose and blaster

Step 4 Lube the bead again and repeat

Step 5 All of the above and 18 extra hands and bellies trying to contort the tire tighter to the rim

Step 6 Wrap a rope, strap or whatever around it to spread the beads closer to the rim

Step 7 go back and start at step 1 after you have warmed up the tire and used pieces of wood to spread the beads apart overnight

Step 8 check if you have the right size rim for the tire you are trying to mount

Step 9 Screw it put a tube in it

Step 10a call in a tire truck or 10b post on here with the question of how to blow up a tire and not yourself with starting fluid.

Foul language and cold beer can be added as required
