I seem to still be having trouble. I tried putting soap on the bead and side of the tire before putting the tube along with the tire on the wheel.

Now when I try putting the second side of the tire on, when I get about 1/2 to 2/3 of the second side on, I seem to be getting nowhere, as I'm putting one end of the tire that's not on completely, the opposite end of that same side of the tire starts coming off and it's like I keep going in circles.

I put the soap on a few hours ago, so I'm not sure if that was/is still a problem but this is just frustrating because I thought this would be simple. So I've taken a step back now from when I first posted.

I did notice one video showed that one cause of a tire not seating correctly can be the wheel strip that proects the tube. I doubt that is the cause, but I guess I could just start all over again and check.

I'm not even sure if this tire was seated with the line basically even all the way around to begin with but I would think that's important based on what advice was given here and what I've read.
