Malco Tire Mounting & Demounting Lubricant with Applicator - Automotive, Truck, Farm & Heavy-Duty Construction Tires/Improved Bead Seal/Rust Protection/Silicone & Soap Free / 1 Gal (102401)

I have a Honda GL1800 that I bought a new rear tire for (after trying to get a local shop to respond, which they never did). I originally bought a set of tire spoons with this bead lubricant to change the tire manually. I knew it was a long shot.Before even getting those things (along with a balancer tool), I decided to order the Rabaconda tire changing machine. I'm glad I did! Everything went well for tire removal. I used this lubricant during the bead breaking process because it is a bit runny and flowed into the bead seal when pushing down on the bead breaker. Working it into the bead it allowed the bead to break which was NOT happening before I used it.I installed a new T style valve stem that I got from Wing Stuff dotcom to use the FOBO TPMS system and still be able to fill my tires easily, so I changed the valve stems with the tire off.The first bead went on fine for the new tire. However, even with the Rabaconda, that second bead was a bear getting on. The Rabaconda came with a bucket of "bead grease" which is actually good stuff, but it is more sticky than slippery like this lubricant. But on my second attempt I used this lubricant and the tire smoothly mounted for the second bead. Maybe I stretched the tire some in the first attempt, but this lubricant really worked well on the second attempt. I recommend it, even if you use bead grease for other functions in the process.

This was about the perfect viscosity for demounting and mounting a new rear tire on one of my bikes this weekend. I didn't have any issues with overly quick evaporation that others have listed, but it was cool & rainy all day, and I was working in my shop with the overhead door open.Happy with the product, it worked much better than mixing some soap & water ever did.

Love this stuff it works great. Not overly messy dries without any residue. Doesn't get all dry and crusty in the tubs on the tire machines. This stuff has a nice thick viscosity to it also.

Been using Murphys for decades this stuff is so much better , my rim clamp is under ripped, this breaks friction so well it's like a new machine

This stuff is required if you’re changing tires. Forget soapy water, this is a game changer.

Works fine except it evaporates faster than soap and water. Otherwise, it is as slippery as it get

Purchase it for my tire work, it works great just as supposed to

This tire lubricant worked great! It made mounting new mini bike tires on the rims super easy and fast.
