Mike Melton demonstrates how to mount and remove a tire safely. Use a fast-drying paste lubricant, not dish soap, which stays wet and causes slipping during hard braking. Position the roller and helping arm directly under the wheel's drop center to avoid damaging the bead.
Mount tires up, you got to make sure that you're using the correct lubricant. So a lot of these guys, they use Dawn dish detergent. You do not want to do that. And the reason is because a lot of times that stuff will stay wet in here. So when you go to hit the brakes or have to slam on the brakes for any kind of crazy safety reason, what it's going to do is cause the tire to spin on top of the wheel and it'll cause it to be out of balance. So you want to make sure that you use a lubricant that actually dries up like our paste does. We use this right here. It helps protect those wheels from any kind of mars, any kind of scratches. He's going to bring that duck head down, get that set in place.

All right, so now what you want to do is make sure the, the roller is up under your drop center right here, and the helping arm is up under that drop center. So what that does, it allows it to mount up on there without tearing any kind of bead. There we go. Just like that. We're gonna get this out of the way, helping arm out of the way. Now we're gonna snatch this stuff off right here. All right, so as you go around, you just pull it off just like that. There you go. It's easy as that.
