OhHHH, so you can't get the bead broke! Here is what you do:
Put the tire under your heaviest truck's bumper, and put a jack between the bumper and the side wall. Jack away until you have lots of pressure on the side wall. If it doesn't break loose, get a BFH and hit the side wall close to the jack until it comes loose.
I do have a couple more tricks up my sleeve for breaking beads, I'll post if you will need em.
they do make a duck billed hammer that is super dandy at breaking beads, but you probably won't want to buy on for a couple of tires.
