I doubt I'll waste anymore of my bar oil on shining tires. My tires usually have a coat of mud protecting them.
I've also heard that grease and oil isn't good for tires but it doesn't keep me from using grease on the beads of particularly cantankerous tires. Two weeks ago I greased the bead of a Bobcat tire after fighting with it for an extended time. I have a Cheetah tank, straps and all the other tricks but this one didn't want to cooperate. The grease did the trick and I got the Bobcat back in service just in time to move logs for the GTG.
Dish washing soap (detergent)... the cheap stuff... straight from the bottle... and, as a plus, your hands stay relatively cleanI'm wondering is silicone wouldn't be better for installing tires.
Didn't try it on hers yet. My tires looked dry this morning..not shiny like yesterday. I will not try that again.Ron when you get some red dirt dust on them sticky tires take a pic for us before you have to pressure wash them. Hope we saved you before you did the wifes rig. Jumbo Asswoop if she's like mine ! Ken
At work here, we use this stuff made by Deere.. it is called synthetic super lube. It works really slick on tires.Use silicone grease - doesn't affect rubber.
I have a squeaky passengers door. I'll give it a try.My favorite barmaid's minivan doors were squeaking. I lubricated them with bar oil. Now they don't squeak and her husband cannot hear her car door when she comes home late. She said they used to wake him up. Fixed.
