while mounting a tire, the bead on the opposite side of the tire must be:

• forced down so it enters the drop center of the rim
• stretched so that the opposite edge will fit under
• kept dry so that the rubber isn’t damaged

Explanation:

When mounting a tire, the correct procedure for the bead on the opposite side is to force it down into the drop center of the rim. Stretching the bead is not the correct method as it can damage the tire, and keeping it dry is not relevant to the mounting process here. The key is the mechanical fitting into the rim's drop center.

Answer:

Forced down so it enters the drop center of the rim
