I have found that gaffer tape can sometimes prevent the tyre from seating as it is normally wider than a rim tape and creates too much friction between the tyre and rim.

Either way, I would recommend pushing the tyre down bit by bit away from the rim seat and pouring soap (fairy) down tha gap around the circumferance, both sides, then pop some air throught tha valve.

If you have a rubber mallet handy.

It may be worth a go with some tyre soap, I did say just ride it but he says it doesn't feel right but I knew thats how they feel.
Don't use fairy as it contains salts and will eat the aluminium rim.
I used gaffer tape as it's easy to par down to the right width.
