Couldn't get the CT mounted on my '95 ACE. Anyone want a new tire?

Tire's a General Altimax HP 195/65-15. Could not get either side to seat on the rim. I tried everything I can think of. Rotated the tire around the rim, lubed the crap out of it with No Mar, threw 115 psi at it, even let it sit in the sun for a day. Ruined a tube...No dice. Where the tire wraps (at the dimple) it just wouldn't go. Oh well....
