Thanks for the suggestion Cooker. I have deflated the tube several times and tried to get the tire equal around the rim with no success. I took the old tire and put it on the rim and when I inflated it there was a pop when the tire seated on the rim. This new tire does not even try to seat on the rim. If I move one position of the tire on the rim then another position will be out of round. I am thinking about spraying the tire with something like WD40 and pumping it up until it explodes or seats on the rim and then setting the pressure correctly assuming that I am not wearing the tire as a necktie.
