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)

This stuff works great. Mounted a 180/55 on my ZRX1200 rim with it. Used it to re-set the bead on my brother's problematic 15x10 Centerline Camaro rim too (they have no bead-retention bump). Will do many more tires with it soon. It's messy and crazy slimy... like some type of 80's kid slime from the toy store lol. Way slipperier than silicone-spray, simple green, etc. Just buy it already. Wish I had years ago. Also, if you have problematic beads, try Yamaha's tire lube spray. It's slippery then turns tacky.

This tire mounting lubricant is so good, it works great for other household essentials. It’s definitely worth your money. It’s really easy to use and put it on the sponge.

Like most have stated, this stuff works!!! I have a NoMar motorcycle tire changer and have used their brand of lube but since I've had it for years it's become kind of "yucky". I decided to buy a jug of this Malco tire lube and, with the lube and applicator stick, so much easier and cleaner to apply in the tire bead! And...it works great!!! Suggestion - get a secure cup container (where it won't fall over because this lube is thick and when you pull the stick out the cup will come with it if not secured) and pour about a coffee cup amount as a little goes a long way! Also, this lube will evaporate after a day so if you have too much in your container try to pour the remaining not used back into the Malco bottle, if possible, or you're going to not have it after a day! Great stuff to have when you need to change a tire and would definitely recommend! The price is fair for what it does!

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.

I don't do much tire work in my shop but this gets the job done well. I usually only do trailer tires.

it does the job

This stuff really helps with beading up a tire and doesn't require alot. Really easy to use. Great amount for the price to. Would recommend.

Had to dilute this tire lube about 50/50. Worked great.
