I was thinking of riding my bike 500 miles down the road, then changing to fat tires, and riding 500 miles down a trail.  Road tires are difficult to get onto flow rims.  Am I able to force them on, sure.  I had the beads give out on a couple of Marathon XR tires.  I suppose from forcing them on tight rims.  Perhaps a 40mm folding tire would be good, one that fits Flow rims more easily.

I've been able to get Hutchinson 28mm tires on Stans rims with no issues. Ran them tubeless for many many miles with no issues. You might also take a small bottle of Dr Bonners soap with you on your trip and use that as a bit of bead lube.
