I used to use soapy substance to install tires .  I now use armorall. It has less chance of causing rust to begin or corrosion on aluminum wheels.

I hope you know that there is much discussion that Armorall actually breaks down rubber and vinyl in the long term .
Here's a thread that seems to be on point : https://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?/topic/27045-why-silicone-oil-is-great-for-rubber-and-armor-all-isnt/

We use soapy water to install carb tubes on aluminum and have for many years . Not a single sign of any type of corrosion . It's not like anything gets totally soaked . ;)

Thanks for the link . I will be doing more reading on the armoral subject .  It was one of my motorcycle forums where the recommendation was to use armoral on our aluminum wheels. Again thanks for stirring my thoughts on the subject.
