I just found a thread over on Thumpertalk.com discussing the use of lubricants between tubes and tires, and not just for tire mounting. Two products are mentioned, Red Rubber Grease, and Crisco Vegetable Shortening. Apparently the rubber absorbs these products over a short time without even heat cycling the tire, and there is the idea that a tire & tube will benefit from the use of these types of products in the event of a puncture.
I looked it up and apparently it's pretty common in agricultural settings. Has anyone ever heard of this?
