Here are my new tires
175/55/15 on a 15x8" wheel...
175/55/15 mounted on a 15x8" wheel...
comparison with the 195/50/15s I had on before
and how we get them to seat...
A bunch of brake fluid is sprayed in the tire first, and when it's lit the force of the bang seats the bead

we used brake fluid, but you can use anything flammable/explosive - ether, propane, hairspray even. Spray a load in the tire, stand back, and light it off.
