Frequently Asked Questions

How does this compare to other tire mounting lubricants?

KEX mounting paste provides strong grip compared to soap-based alternatives, reducing rim slippage during installation. Unlike spray lubricants that can over-apply, this paste provides controlled application exactly where needed. The wax-based formula does not contain petroleum and is compatible with TPMS sensors.

What's the advantage of the low profile bucket design?

The low profile bucket saves 40% more storage space compared to standard tall containers while holding the same 7.75 lbs of product. At just 5 inches tall, it fits under most workbenches and in compact tool storage areas. This design also makes the paste easier to access during busy tire installation periods.

Will this work with run-flat and low profile tires?

Yes, KEX mounting paste is specifically formulated for challenging applications including run-flats and low-profile tires. The advanced wax formula provides extra lubrication needed for these stiffer tire constructions while preventing bead damage. It works equally well on standard passenger tires and commercial applications.

How much paste do I need per tire installation?

A small amount goes a long way - typically just a brush-full per tire bead covers the entire mounting surface. This 7.75 lb bucket supports several hundred tire installations in professional shop environments. Most technicians find one bucket lasts 2-3 months in active use.
