Seating the bead on any tire is dangerous and should be done by a competent person. Did you wash the rim and get the old soap off from previous mounting? That old soap is very sticky and will grab the softer rubber of the car tire and not let it go on very easily.
You have to really lather those tires up to get them on sometimes and all over where you don't think you need it.
Some people have let there's sit in the sun for a couple of hours and they come out and it's beaded.
Let us know?
Oh...congrats on your choice to try the darkside and welcome to our site.

I have the same tire in a 205-70-15 on an R and it seated at 65. Like Twin said make sure the rim is clean.
You could seal the rim and go tubeless.

For cleaning, use a good scrub brush or a scotch pad.
Here is a link to sealing. You can do a search for more info.
