Tru-Flate tire mounting lubricant concentrate 8 lb pail, professional-grade long-lasting bead protection

Tru-Flate Stuf is a concentrated, professional-grade tire mounting lubricant supplied in an 8 lb pail to help installers seat and remove tires more smoothly while minimizing mounting damage.

This thick, concentrated formula is designed for shop use where consistent lubrication and bead protection matter. Manufactured in the United States by Plows & Edelman and sold under the Tru-Flate name, the product arrives in an 8 lb (approx. 3.833 kg) pail sized for repeated use. It’s formulated to provide long-lasting slickness during tire mounting and demounting operations and comes in a container sized to fit on service benches and near tire changers.

How does this lubricant make tire mounting easier?

The concentrate creates a slick interface between the tire bead and rim, reducing friction so beads slide into place with less force. That smoother action helps installers seat tires faster and reduces the need for excessive mechanical leverage that can stress rims or beads.

• Concentrated formula delivers extended lubrication per application
• Reduces install/remove resistance for quicker seating
• Helps prevent bead pinching and rim scuffs during mounting

What are the practical features of the 8 lb pail?

The product comes packaged in a sturdy 8 lb (3.833 kg) pail with dimensions suited to shop storage: approximately 18.034 cm L x 22.352 cm H x 18.542 cm W. The pail is sized for repeated use, easy access, and durable handling in garage environments.

• 8 lb capacity for multiple mounting operations before refill
• Compact footprint fits on workbenches and near tire changers
• Made in the United States and distributed by Plows & Edelman

How should shops apply the Stuf Concentrated Lubricant?

Apply a light, even coating to the tire bead and rim seating area before mounting. Because the product is concentrated, use only the amount needed for a slick surface—over-application is unnecessary and wasteful. Wipe off excess after seating if required by shop practice.

• Use a brush, sponge, or applicator to spread a thin layer
• Apply to both inner and outer bead areas for even seating
• Store the pail sealed to retain consistency between uses

Is this lubricant compatible with all tire types and rims?

The formula is intended for general tire mounting and demounting tasks across passenger, light-truck, and many commercial tire applications. It is non-specific to a single rim material, but shops should follow tire and wheel manufacturers’ guidance for any special materials or coatings.

• Works on a wide range of tire and rim combinations
• No product-specific restrictions printed on the packaging; follow OEM guidance where applicable
• Suitable for routine shop and commercial use
