i havent done this but ive heard else where to throw a strap or rope of some sort around the tire(along the tread) it will push the middle in, thus pushing the sides out, which should get it to seal a little easier.

That hasn't been my experience.

Mounted 'em, Stan's, air. Seal.

More air in the morning, ride. Takes about a week to need more air.
