trying to put a tire on for the first time. won't inflate?
#15
Lol, my two Millennial kids are also unbelievably cheap. Smile

If you don't want to spend money on even a low-end compressor, you could get an [url=http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Force-FT5-5-Gallon-Portable-Tank/dp/B002MKP5TM]air tank and fill it someplace with free compressed air. Maybe your little compressor could even pump it up and then you could use it to seat the tire bead.

+1 on Razor's tip to remove the Schrader valve (you'll need a special but - thankfully - cheap tool) and then just blast a high volume of air into the tire quickly to seat the bead.

BTW, check Facebook Marketplace for used compressors and air tanks. The prices are often ridiculously cheap.
