I just did it at the track. The guy said he would air em up, couldnt garantee that they would hold but it he would get em to go. They went with about 80 psi. I have heard them taking 100 before. Its all because they are ment for a bike wheel and not a car wheel.

i woudl say for ease of mounting a slick tire, try and get one with a tread width thats the same as the wheel width. 15x10" wheel tire with a 10" tread width

You didn't use enough either and you should have snapped the air chuck on the stem so air was running when the beads hit. I was a snap on tool dealer for a few years and saw guys do **** that you wouldn't even imagine. DANGEROUS ****. I got to a truck shop one day with the ambulance on my back bumper. A guy had layed a truck rim AGAINST THE CAGE and started airing it up. Yep! the lock ring wasn't seated, it blew and LITERALLY cut the guy in half. They didn't need the siren on the way to the hospital.

btw if any one is going to do this call around and make sure there is a shop that can pump 85-100psi this has been a bitch
