JTM Products Murphy's Tire Mounting Lubricants: Professional-Grade Bead Lube Since 1890

When it comes to tire mounting lubricant, few names carry the weight of JTM Products and their flagship Murphy's line. JTM Products, headquartered in Solon, Ohio, traces its roots to 1890 as the Phoenix Oil Company — a manufacturer born during the Industrial Revolution that has spent well over a century refining the science of lubrication. Today, their Murphy's brand is the go-to tire mounting compound in professional tire shops, dealerships, and fleet operations around the world.

Why Murphy's Stands Apart

Murphy's brand tire mounting lubricants are recognized worldwide by major tire manufacturers as a superior tire lube for bead packing, consumer tire mounting, high performance tires, truck, off-road, and motorcycle tire mounting. That recognition doesn't happen by accident. The secret lies in the raw materials: JTM uses only high-quality vegetable oil in the manufacture of Murphy's tire mounting lubricant, which is lighter, clearer, extremely consistent, and does not separate.

Murphy's Original Concentrated Tire & Tube Mounting Compound contains no phosphorus, no chlorine, no zinc, and no petroleum — and is non-flammable. This clean, worker-friendly formula means it's safe for technicians handling it repeatedly throughout the day, and it won't attack or degrade the rubber compounds in the tires themselves. Murphy's provides low friction to prevent twisting and cracking, so tires will not grab or seize onto metal rims, and will seat readily and smoothly.

Two Formats: Paste and Liquid

JTM Products offers Murphy's tire mounting lubricant in two primary formats to suit different shop workflows:

• Murphy's Original Concentrated Tire & Tube Mounting Compound (Paste): This compound packs beads better than competing products due to its excellent adhesion, ultra-thick consistency, and the fact that it doesn't separate — making hard-to-mount tires go on easily in concentrated form. It can also be diluted by adding Murphy's to water (1 part Murphy's and 3–4 parts water) for a superior, environmentally friendly, and economical tire mounting liquid lube. Available in 8 lb, 25 lb, and 40 lb pails.
• Murphy's Tire Mounting White Paste: A concentrate engineered for the most challenging applications, this white paste is a stable blend of specialty soaps, corrosion inhibitors, preservatives, solvents, and water. Designed for alloy wheels, low-profile, and run-flat tires, it is extra slippery to help mount tires with stiff beads, contains a rust inhibitor to help fight rim rust, and is non-toxic.

Murphy's Tire and Tube Mounting Compound is designed to assist in mounting rubber tires and tubes on all types of wheels, and is fortified with rust inhibitors to provide protection against wheel corrosion. Whether you're running a high-volume commercial shop working with OTR and truck tires or a performance garage fitting stiff-sidewall sport tires, there's a Murphy's formula built for the task.
