Personally I use tire mounting lube these days and I used to use dishwashing soap to mount tires. I would NOT use silicone. Soap dries up to not only cease being a lubricant but gets "sticky" when it dries. Silicone lubes for ever how long it's one there.

IE, put a front tire on your supermoto or whatever using silicone as a lube. Then go break in your new tire with a couple of stoppies. See how that works out for you.
If spinning tires on a rim wasn't a thing there would be no such thing as rim locks. That this guy is dumb enough to spray silicone on a new tire for mounting throws all HIS credibility out the window. Simply more proof that any goober can get in front of a camera and to do and say whatever they want with basically no accountability.

Next time I change a tire I might try the zip ties though.
