Tire Mounting
Got some tires for my ATV. What is the composition of the slime used on the bead of tubeless tires?

Buddy of mine had an old Coats 10-10 tire machine, and as I recall, all he ever used was elcheapo, dollar store-type dish soap, undiluted. Not too sure it wasn't just glycerine with coloring added.

Wow!! 31 comments on tire lube. I mounted a lot of tires when I first started working at a dealership and I think I just used soapy water. Mostly they were large tires and rims on Dodge trucks, pickups and ramchargers. The owner loved to put larger tires and custom wheels on new trucks we would get in. I don't remember any trouble with rims rusting but with all the salt water around here at the beach it would be hard to prove a little soapy water did it.
