Seating the bead on my 1600's

Ive mounted at least 50 14-1600's and never had a problem seating the beads. Today one of my 1600's went flat and popped off the bead. That tire broke my @#% it just wouldnt seat. I try not to use starting fluid, so today i used a 21 inch motorcycle tube. I put the tube between the rim and tire with a couple of psi in it and sure enough it seated instantly. Im sure im not the first guy to do this but I didnt see anything posted here. Hope this helps somebody.
