Dave, I've had luck wrapping bungee cords around the outside of the tire which helps force the bead of the tire against the rim.  Then I try high air pressure to initial set the tire, then turn it down for the fill.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Tubeless tires - off subject

I have a gas caddy with tires that have no tubes.  I let the air get too low and the tires have retracted away from the rims.  Does anyone know the trick to get them full of air again...  No matter how much I try I cannot get enough of a seal to pressurize the tires.

Thanks
