Ru-Glyde Tire Mounting Lubricant by AGS – 1 Gallon

Ru-Glyde by AGS is a ready-to-use, water-based tire mounting lubricant that seats beads smoothly, protects rims from rust, and conditions aging rubber without leaving slippery residue.

Whether you run a busy tire shop, operate a mobile service van, or change tires at home, the right bead lube saves time and reduces damage to rims and tire beads. AGS Ru-Glyde is formulated to deliver a thick, clingy coating that stays where applied, works across passenger, light-truck, agricultural and OTR tires, and doubles as a rubber rejuvenator for sidewalls and seals.

How does Ru-Glyde help me seat tire beads faster?

Ru-Glyde’s viscous, stay-put formula coats the bead and rim evenly so tires slide into position on the first try. Its consistency eliminates the need for repeated re-seating or excessive force from tools, reducing labor and potential bead damage.

• Thick, clingy formula that resists sling-off during mounting
• Works straight from the gallon — no mixing or diluting required
• Compatible with passenger, LT, agricultural, and OTR tire sizes
• Reduces time per mount for higher throughput in busy shops

Will Ru-Glyde leave the bead or rim slippery after mounting?

No — Ru-Glyde is water-based and engineered to dry cleanly, leaving no long-term slippery residue that causes bead slip. It provides temporary lubrication during installation and then evaporates, leaving a thin protective film that helps prevent corrosion on steel rims.

• Dries fully after mounting to avoid bead movement while driving
• Deposits a protective layer to guard against rim rust
• Safe for TPMS sensors and alloy or steel wheels
• Non-petroleum formula avoids rubber-degrading solvents

Can I use Ru-Glyde to restore cracked or hardened rubber?

Yes — Ru-Glyde doubles as a rubber conditioner for sidewalls, weather stripping, and seals. It softens and restores flexibility without leaving a greasy finish, improving appearance and helping extend component life when used appropriately.

• Applies easily to sidewalls, door seals and gaskets
• Softens dried rubber without oily residue
• Useful for maintenance tasks in shops and fleet service
• Test small areas first on delicate finishes

Is this product ready for professional shop use?

Absolutely — Ru-Glyde is formulated for high-volume environments: it comes pre-mixed in a one-gallon jug so technicians can pour and apply immediately. The no-mix, no-dilute convenience cuts prep time and maintains consistent performance throughout the workday.

• One-gallon ready-to-use container for quick deployment
• Consistent viscosity eliminates batch-mixing variability
• Reduces scrap and rework from improper seating
• Safe for use on run-flats and TPMS-equipped wheels

Who is this for? Ru-Glyde by AGS is designed for professional tire installers, automotive repair shops, fleet maintenance teams, agricultural operators, and DIY enthusiasts who need a dependable bead lube that speeds installs, protects wheels, and revives rubber parts. If you require a no-fuss, water-based formula that won’t compromise TPMS or tire compounds and provides both mounting lubrication and rubber conditioning, Ru-Glyde is a practical addition to your toolbox.
