I hear baby powder around the tube before install will help tremendously and soapy water during slow air up massaging the tire after each pump every 5 psi or so until mostly aired then of course less weights are needed:
Interesting, I’ve not heard of lube to make sure tire sits on hub correctly. What kind of lube and where do you put the lube and how much? Thanks
Superlube is the common choice, and recommended by landsurf. You don’t need much, just a fine layer smoothed out along the bead.

Dielectric grease works well and is easy to find.

Yeah that’s not a bad idea. Especially if you know the tire is seated properly already and that’s not where the vibrations are coming from.

I use superlube for my tires and gears myself. I feel it helps a decent amount getting some tires on and off.
