cold weather bead lube

Water and dish soap or buy some Murphy's soap which is made just for working on tires. NEVER use any oil type product be it oil or grease or brake fluid because it soften the rubber so it is likely the make it sticky and also makes it not last as long
 
Murphy's, which old mentions, makes tire grease. The "vegetable oil soap" they make, which will be liquid on the grocery store shelf, will probably solidify in very cold temp's. If you can't put it in where it can stay warm until you use it, place it under your vehicle heater. Or if desperate, cut the bottle open and work it in your hands!
 
Brake Fluid is a very good paint remover, do not use if you want any paint on rims, or anything else it touches.
 
I use Cyclo Breakaway it is a penetrating oil/lubricant deal. I have never had a problem with it causing rubber softening or sticky. Always works in subzero temps too.
 
For 22 years I used Bowes Big Blue. Far slicker than any dish soap, always had 1 or 2 gallons in the service truck. NAPA Ruglide is not quite as slick as Bowes Big Blue, but even it is far slicker than soap. DO NOT USE OIL BASED STUFF FOR TIRE LUBE! I have seen many rear tractor tires destroyed because the owner was too cheap to hire me to mount them the first time. They get real ------ when you tell them those new high dollar rear tractor tires they mounted 2 - 3 years ago are now junk.
