Very helpful, as always. Do you apply an anti-corrosion grease on the bead before mounting the new tire?

I have never done that. You should never introduce any sort of petroleum-based product on the bead of a tire as it would eat away at it at said bead. If the tire were ever to be dismounted for repair the bead would come apart in places and the tire would be junk. In the early years when tubeless tires were introduced it was a common practice to use grease to aid in sealing the tire to the rim. It was soon discovered the damage caused by that practice. Thanks for the question.

yes, I'm aware that petroleum based products will soften and break down rubber or plastic; I was wondering if there was a non-petroleum product that you used to prevent corrosion on the aluminum due to moisture; thanks again for all your videos.@@richardspaulding5035
