Maybe you mean petroleum based lubes? They are a definite no.

exact same tires i got on my 08 before it was totaled.

Huh? Proper tire installation includes lubricating the bead. It prevents damage to the bead from the machine, it helps seating the bead. If the bead is seated and the tire spins on the rim you got much bigger problems than the balance.

Maybe now they use something less slimy.
Now I try to remember to put little paint marks on the tire and rim, or slightly less precisely at the valve, to check for it. Not my idea.
I was just an idea anyway. Maybe the thinking has changed. Again. Off to the land of google.
[edit] first article I looked at talked mentioned avoid silicone lubricants to avoid tire slippage.

Probably not the problem, but just to be sure you could put tiny paint marks on each tire at the valve to see if one has been slipping on the rim. I imagine it’s most likely under hard accel/decel, or slipping/spinning then grabbing but IDK.

I didn’t mean dry. Varying opinions, but awhile back the issue of slipping on the rims was a big deal. I don’t didn’t pay much attention to whether they were just using water or what, but two guys were complaining that corporate wouldn’t let them use the stuff they used to. If have experienced that slipping.

Tire manufacturers demand the use of lube when mounting tires. There are right and wrong lubricants. Any lube used should evaporate in a few minutes. Soapy water evaporates and the soap acts like glue.
Mabe tires can slip on certain alloy rims, if the driver is a cowboy.

LOL no they use this black sticky stuff that dries like a rubber, definately doesnt slip. Most shops Ive seen just use soapy water installing tires, its a lube. But this black stuff is like a sealer too I suppose, pretty much "glues" the tire to the rim.
