Lube the tire beads prior to the next two steps.


Good point. The dish detergent helped wonderfully.

Proper "vegatable soap" tire lube does not allow the tire to slip on
the rim under accelleration or braking after it dries, unlike some
normal "dish soaps"
A proper bead lubricant like "RuGlyde" is most definitely recommended
..

Using the wrong soap increases the likelihood you will need to
re-balance the tire several times over it's lifespan.
