About this part
Brian Kinwald, tire gluing aficionado and pro driver says: “I glue a lot of tires and this is the best I’ve used.”
JConcepts tips for a properly mounted tire:
- Wash hands prior to assembling and gluing.
- Clean bead area of tire with all purpose cleaner. Green Biodegradable cleaner and window cleaner are popular choices.
- Avoid touching bead area for best bond strength.
- Use only high quality (JCI2043M), purpose built tire glue.
- Slide the glue tip applicator partially (force fit) onto bottle and cut tube to desired length.
- Pull back tire bead area and apply a liberal amount of glue to mating surfaces.
- Wipe excess glue with a rag and allow to dry in a warm ventilated area. Direct sunlight is best.
- Place JConcepts tire mounting rubber bands (JCI2005) around the outside of the sidewall to assist in proper positioning.
- Check your work and perform any touch-up necessary.
- Go racing.

Have glued up a few sets of tires with this now. Like very much, flows nicely, dries very sharp and clear.
This is the best tire glue I've used so far it dries very clean and don't leave a ugly looking glue gob mess. And the applicator tips are very awesome much better then the tubing in the bottle tip. Quick dry time but not to quick and makes a really secure bond
So far the best and most consistent glue I’ve used
The Glue Works perfectly with there Jconcept tires and any wheel of your choice. i highly recommend the glue
I've used a lot of tire glue and tried a lot of different brands. This stuff is awesome. It's a perfect viscosity and tacks quickly. The cap has a stainless pin in it to prevent clogging, and it comes in a resealable bag with a dessicant to prevent drying out.
Reviewers largely praise this medium-viscosity tire glue. Common points include smooth flow, quick tack without drying too fast, clean dry with little visible residue, and a secure bond. Several note the applicator tip is an improvement over tube-style bottle tips, and one mentions a stainless pin to prevent clogging and a resealable bag with desiccant. One lower-rated review states that the brand is not well regarded in general and that the reviewer had seen tires come off, though the reviewer bought it only because it was the sole option available and later cited a preference for other brands. Overall sentiment is strongly positive, with the main dissent based on brand reputation rather than this product's performance.
