Starting fluid (ether). Should work with anything similarly flammable, but ether is preferred. You need something explosive though - a slow burn wouldn’t work.
saw this trick yrs ago for the antarctica 4x4 expeditions where the tires are only at 10psi or so…
probably pyroil
i have been doing this since i was a kid… some times we did it while still on the hub…
i like how he kinda gave a double take because he didnt know the match caught fire lol

yea… but how do you get the tire over the lip of the rim though?

You be a man and use a pry bar. It’s hard at first but after doing it a bunch it’s alright. Had to do it all the time for the race car, but we had other methods of setting the bead.
I did this years ago on a tire we put on taurus for a friend of mine. I was probably 17 and we were using crowbars tire-irons and screwdrivers to get it on the rim, huge PITA.
Been there done that. A bead blaster is safer but too bulky of a tool to carry around.
