The fire method works, I've seen offroad guys do it successfully multiple times.
I use a ratchet strap, wrapped around the tire. You have to be kind of careful, but you just crank it down enough so the beads are pushed up against the beads of the rim and the use an air compressor to push the tire up over the bead. I've done it on scooter tire, mower tires and motorcycle tires.
