One bead finally popped on at 80psi after the first 2 hours of effort -- and the shockwave made me temporarily deaf. 60psi is usually plenty. So Ive changed quite a few tires before my 6th set but never had to apply very much pressure to get the beads to set maybe 40 psi max.

An old time grarge man told me to use brake fluid to soften the bead on old tires before trying to seat them.
