If you do decide to try it, I one saw a neat trick that works better than soap... I had some aluminum rims for a pickup truck, and couldn't get anyone to try mounting tires on them. They were all afraid they would wreck the rims. Finally, I took them to one place that said "no problem". The guy put it on his tire machine, but just used it to hold the rim, not to press the tire on. Then he sprayed "Cyclo" brand carburator cleaner on the tire bead, picked up the tire over his head, and dropped the tire onto the rim. Both sides of the tire went on at once! He said that only Cyclo brand seems to work. I have used the same trick on smaller tires and it worked for me as well.
