Many dish soaps contain oils and skin lubricants to prevent the drying of the hands, therefore, its use is not recommended. Clean both the tire and bead with a solvent such as Acetone, MEK or Ether and use Windex as a lubricant for installing the tire. Do not use tire lubricant either.
If the tire starts to turn on the rim, use 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive or Permatex High Tack gasket sealant around the bead of wheels. Inflate the tires and if possible, let them sit overnight before using them.
