As the storage yard I have the MH in is a ways out from most businesses I will remove the tire from the unit and take it in to a place with a tank.

So I will wait until it cools a bit and get to work on it.
I also remember one place or another in life seeing a tire shop work on a large tire where they installed a cinch type belt on the tire to force the bead to seal so they could inflate it. Never seen one since.
I could probably do the same thing with a ratchet strap but that would only result in a lead again at a future date when I least want one. At least so far the tire has only gone flat at my home or in storage, better than on the open road.
