I just did my fourth darkside tire mounting for a friend with a sidecar.
It was the toughest one yet.
The trick that finally worked to get the bead was to use my JC Whitney bead breaker clamp to squeeze a part of the tire that was doing correctly while re-inflating. This cause the tire to bead on the difficult spot. Then by removing the clamp and adding more air it finally beaded all round.
Just another hint.

Nothing unconventional about a darkside tire on a sidecar rig. He did say sidecar.

Alchemy. Makes sense. You start telling people your rear tire is older than their kid, or how many miles you've gotten so far, and they'll swear you're in league with the Mystic Radial Devil. I suppose our theme would have to be "Magical Mystery Tour(ing)" then.

I will say that with all that extra rubber on the road back there my rear brake seems to be doing something now when I push on the pedal. Did a hundred and fifty mile round trip yesterday with my little red trailer on the back and and things went nicely. Hauled some plants one way and a keyboard amp back home. Stable and solid as a rock.
