Default RE: Intairco tire change?

OK guys, I have new set of tires that are harder than Superman's head....heated with a heat gun to the point of needing gloves to touch it....NOPE.......5 minutes in boiling water....NOPE......the old tires were the consistency of bubble gum and wore out in less than 20 flights.....the new ones are made of Krypotonite....I'm getting P/O'd caus I want to bust some laps tomorrow and I cant get the tires on the rim.....my lathe chuck isnt big enough to build a taper like BVM uses....any other ideas so I can burn some kero tomorrow....
