Pros & Cons
Pros
Easy on/off of tires on my '15 sportster. Worked great for dismount and mount. I am a motorcycle mechanic.
No pinched tube, no busted knuckles, no flying tire irons or swearing. Then put the swab with the beadbuster on the last tire bead. They really help break the bead.
This stuff works great! Worked like a charm. This stuff is fantastic! This stuff rocks. Highly recommend it.
Cons
Not a fan. Could not get the bead to slide into place. It's like grocery store gelatin with viscous chunks in it.
Highlights
Quality
Rusty rims old tires from 1986 this slop somehow holds and let me fill the wheels up
For the past 50 years of occasional tire removals and installations as a shade tree mechanic i have used in rough order nothin... Read More
A light coat around the rim and tire and after a couple of tries the tire slipped right on
Got some really stiff e rated truck tires i could not seat for the life of me
Price
I’m wearing out and i have had tires changed at local shops but it’s getting to be 50 or more for a change
At the price it’s pretty expensive for the perceived amount you get
The price was kind of steep for 16 ounces but you only need a little to work with
Shipping
I stopped and waiting for this lube to arrive and i was blown away how quickly the install was
Competitiveness
This made the tires slide onto the rims and seat much better than soapy water or dawn
As good or better than any similar product i’ve used over the last 50 years
I dont know how this compares to other products but this works really well
This is the first tire lube ive ever used so i cant compare it to others
