I have, over the years, installed both British ferret tires and US pattern 9.00X16s on to the CMP rims. For either type, I would remove a bit of the inner lip on a US pattern tire, or a lot of the bead on the British. In both cases, a utility knife with a BRAND NEW blade was used. You can get a bunch of the blades for $1 at the dollar store, so don't be afraid to change the blade after each tire.
I think I tried the grinder once, but found it very messy.
While you can install the US tires by merely greasing (vegetable type grease) and inflating, they will be a bugger to take apart afterwards.
