Frequently Asked Questions

Which tire mounting compound works best for professional shops?

KEX tire mounting paste works well for professional shops because its high-viscosity formula stays in place during installation and provides consistent lubrication. The compound dilutes up to 4:1 for different applications, and the 8 lb size offers value for high-volume tire operations that mount multiple tires daily.

How long will 8 lb of tire mounting compound last?

An 8 lb container typically provides enough compound for 200-300 tire installations depending on tire size and application method. For professional shops mounting 10-20 tires daily, this supply generally lasts approximately 2-4 weeks of regular operation based on usage patterns.

Will this damage aluminum or alloy wheels?

No, KEX compound is specifically formulated to be safe on all wheel types including aluminum and alloy wheels. The formula won't stain, mark, or cause corrosion on metal surfaces, making it suitable for expensive custom wheels and original equipment manufacturer applications in automotive service.

Can I use this on both tubed and tubeless tires?

Yes, this tire mounting compound works with both tubed and tubeless tire applications. For tubed installations, apply around the tube and between tire and wheel. For tubeless mounts, focus application on bead areas and rim flanges for optimal sealing performance.
