Seat the bead

Hi Guys....
I just installed a michilen defender 205/70/15 but having issues getting the bead to seat... I have a small compressor at home and inflated the tire to 80 psi but no luck... one side seated fine but the other is being a real pita... anybody have any tricks I can try

Lube it up good, KY jelly works! And set it out in the sun.
