MSDS and from the Goldwing forum you can use Armor All sprayed on a sponge to lube tire beads and rim lip . No chemicals in Armor all that attack Aluminum or rubber .

Good tip on the dish soap. I can see Armor All being a good lubricant for this purpose for removing the tire, as it has mineral oil in it. However, this MSDS for Armor All says it too is a bit alkaline. Perhaps the mineral oil counters that when it comes to corrosion.
Bead grease is apparently recommended for putting the tire on ... what do you think?
