So I have my rims & tires but no tire lube. Few beers and thought why not use a little AI lube. Worked great! I have a pic but wont let me post. I dont think this would harm the rubber seeing that it is a water based lube.

Mounting tires the farmer way!!!

Most guys on here won't know what AI lube is, so I'll give a little explanation.
AI lube is used when artificially inseminating (AI) or pregnancy checking cattle. It is usually applied to a shoulder length plastic glove to make inserting your arm into the cows rectum easier. Once inside, the reproductive tract can be felt through the colon wall to detect pregnancy. Also manipulating the tract to allow passage of a thin plastic tube, which has been inserted into the vulva, into the cervix where semen is then injected.
Probably more than most of you wanted to know!

LOL, I always thought mounting tires the farmer way was beating the sidewall with a sledge and seating the bead with some ether and a match. Maybe that's just the completely unsafe redneck way...
Ether and a match is the farmers way.
I think the other way is the ranchers way.
Never thought of using that stuff to slick it up.
I unfortunately know what it is

Don't get to use AI lube here in NYC to often . But dish washing liquid works good too.

Ya they jokes were flying. 4 guys a case a beer and 1 guy with slippery hands. Ya i no how terrible it is.
I have big shoulders though. For how well it worked the harassment was worth it.

Murphy's Oil soap was the tire lube of choice at my friends tire shop and repair garage,its cheap,can be found easy at grocery stores and makes tire mounting much easier--worked better than commercially sold stuff for mounting tires and costs a lot less....at home I use dishwashing liquid soap or Wd-40..
Anyone but me ever use something besides bead sealer on rims that were rusty after wire brushing them??...
I've used many things like grease,weatherstrip adhesive (found out that wasn't the best idea later when it was time to take OFF the tires!--along with Permatex "High Tack" gasket adhesive,both litteraly welded the beads to the rims ,making them dam near impossible to get off even with a good tire machine!)..one tire was so firmly welded to the rim I set it on fire in my back yard and burned it off!..but I didn't trust the rim after getting it red hot in the process..
I've also tried RTV,silicone caulking and roofing cement on my lawn tractor tires beads,none seemed to work that great...grease seems to work best for me..despite the warning that petroleum products will degrade rubber,I've never seen any harmful efects from using grease on the beads..

So from which sets of words does the AI come from, artificial insemination or anal insertion or something completely different?

They AI stands for artificial insemination but the lube is used on the arm that is anally inserted. The stuff we used actually said anal lube on it but I think they use the name AI lube for professional purposes. Prairie seems to have a little experience as well with this stuff. I believe its just about the most slippery stuff on earth. I bet i could have put the 15" tires on 17" wheels!!!
