Ditto to Steve on the talcum powder.  I haven't done any car tire work, but it's convention to put talcum powder inside bicycle tires before installing and inflating the tube.  This is probably best known to those of us who ride what we call road bikes and need to rather frequently remove and replace tires.  These bikes also use a protective strip between the tube and the channel where the spokes are found.  My Healey's wheels have the rubber strips to protect the tubes from the spoke area.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] tire remover  Back when I was mounting tires on wire wheels I always mounted the wheel on the changer outside of the wheel up.If you are installing tubes, you will need a band over the ends of the spokes.You will also need to break both beads loose unless you want to struggle.inflate the tube just a bit, this will make inserting it much easier.Protip, once the tube is installed and the tire remounted, pull the Shrader valve, and inflate the tube to about 15 PSI and let it air out.  Then do it again to about 20-25 PSI.  Then install the Shrader  valve and inflate.Doing this this will allow the tube to work out any wrinkles which can cause a tube failure.  Rick  On Sun, Sep 4, 2016 at 4:36 PM, Richard Kahn <tahoehealey at hotmail.com> wrote:I purchased a tire remover and mounter from Harbor Freight. I have not tried it yet and I was wondering if anyone has used one on wire wheels. It looks like it could work if I put the wheel with the outside hub down on the unit. I will practice on an old wire wheel and tire before I try it on my chromes. (I need to put tubes on the wheels as I am constantly losing air and over the years, I have had to replace many spokes) Is there any advise?Rich Kahn
