Sometimes it helps to air the tire up, let the air out and air it up again. I hope that it allows the tire to fall where it is supposed to fall. Also helps to air it way over limit the first time and then let it down to normal. To be sure the bead seats.

I have special problems using kevlar beads on unhooked/barely hooked rims. I know it can't stretch; but it sure seems to. I have much better luck with wire beads on such rims.
