[AT] Tire rim sealant

[Gunnells, Bradley R]

As others have mentioned, with small tires at low pressure you may be better off in the long run going with tubes.

This topic however reminded me of a product that I use whenever I change tires (I do most of my own with a manual changer and spoons). This is a grease like product that lubricates to make the installation and removal easier. I also will often use it on the face of the bead to fix slow leaks with good success.

The tub of this my Dad bought 30 years ago when we had a service station. So needless to say, unless you apply it with a putty knife (ie. waste it) it likely will be an item you only need to buy once.
