Just watched a Discovery Science Channel program called 'Extreme Machines 4-wheel Force'. A number of different segments, Baja, Monster Trucks and one on some Arctic expedition with built up Toyotas. Big tires that they had to air down to 3-5 lbs for test trials in Iceland on the glaciers to train.. In one scene they showed how to re-seat tires that had come off bead due to low pressure and some terrain problem..
I'd never seen this done before..w/ lighter fluid.. I found a few video's to illustrate.. be careful..

a description of the episode..maybe you can find a rental..
"Profile 4-wheel drive vehicles through a wide variety of terrains from the beautiful and dangerous glaciers of Iceland to the mighty and unforgiving Gobi Desert and beyond. We study their scientific development over the years and watch the amazing feats they can perform both for fun, racing, adventuring and stunts-and for far more serious purposes, the life-saving vehicles able to reach inaccessible and remote locations where no other road vehicle can go."
here's a pic of the video episode package , couldn't find a full video to post..
