I'm not talking about replacing my tire with the spare,
I have the rim off, and The tire off of the rim, and the new tire on the rim, but I can't get it to seal enough so I can fill it up with air.
Right now I can't get the rubber flush with the metal so the air will stay in. The air just flows out gaps when I try to pump it up.

first do we the rim with a soapy water solution at both sides of rim to bead seat area...
next you are going to have to take a rope or a chain around the outer circumference of the tire....
exactly in the center now insert a bar or tire iron between the rope or chain and begin twisting in one direction which will begin to compress the tread in center of tire and force the bead out toward edge of the rim...
now gently apply air just enough to seat the beads and then slowly untwist the rope/chain assistive restraint

Put the wheel on something like a stool, with the outside of the wheel facing up. Have someone hold the rim while you push down and twist the tire onto the rim.
Then gently lift at the edges if the tire, to start the top bead while filling it with compressed air. For obvious reasons this works better with stored compressed air, not a pump.
If you need to you can use dish soap to make it go more smoothly, and if you have an air chuck with a trigger you can unscrew the air valve from the stem to allow a faster burst of air.

Use dish soap and put it around the bead of the tire. Next make sure the valve stem core is out. Now start filling the tire as you fill the tire pull up on the edges while you hold the rim down. It helps if you have more than one person. Good Luck

Take the core out of the valve stem for more air flow into the tire.

its extremely difficult to get the tire on the rim correctly. most tire shops use a machine specifically for this. you may be able to get 1 edge of the inner ring of the tire onto the rim, but getting the other one over the lip of the wheel is hard to do. i would take it to a shop and pay the $15 bux to have the tire mounted and balanced.

seat one side( laid the tire down and the bottom seal gonna close with a little push) ,connect the hose to the tire stem filler and
.....here is the trick........
with another hose blow air into the rubber flush with the metal( tthe one in the top),then You will see it pop out and seal.

get sime heavy rope, tie a loop in one end, and wrap it around the center of the tire.
pull up hard on the rope, so it squeezes the tires center out wards, while some one puts air into it.
