It's not that simple, but you can do it if absolutely necessary. I've done it with motorcycle tires using the zip tie method. It is very possible to damage the sidewall bead though. For balancing you could use dynamic beads or a bubble balancer. Harbor Freight has a tire changer but it's debatable how easy it is to use and how long it will last.
