The details
Description
Tackle the toughest beads with RU-Glyde® Tire Mounting Paste, the professional-grade tire lubricant in a convenient 8-lb pail. This high-slip, water-based paste coats evenly, slashes mounting effort, and safeguards rubber against tears, heat buildup, and scuffs. It dries to a clear, non-slippery film that won’t attract grime or throw off torque readings, keeping wheels and TPMS sensors clean.
Why RU-Glyde Paste outperforms liquid sprays
- Paste-thick grip — clings to bead and rim surfaces where sprays run off.
- Ultra-slick formula — faster seating and painless demounting, even on low-profile or run-flat tires.
- Rust & corrosion resistance — shields steel and alloy rims.
- Quick-drying & residue-free — water-soluble, with no petroleum to swell rubber.
- All-temperature reliability — stays workable in hot bays or chilly conditions without separating or freezing.
Ideal for: passenger & light-truck, heavy-duty & commercial, ATV & small tires, and alloy wheels with TPMS.
