Grease! Like wheel bearing grease? I guess he doesn't get any high-powered cars that could spinn the rim on the bead...

I don't like the idea of having a long-lasting oil in constant contact with my rubber tire. I would be concerned with the oil breaking down the rubber, especially in such a vital area like the bead.
