I had the sam eproblem withmy Dunlop aquajet tyres. they are 10", 165 tyres, and the garage said they cant put them on the rims in case they damage the bead. But my friend who works for Kwik Fit, did it in his own time and proved it CAN be done, as long as they are careful and use lots of lubricant on the install machine.

I think a lot of those tyre places could be bullsh*tters because they dont want the responsibility if they ******* it up.
