I researched this a little. Many dish soaps now contain anti-bacterial ingredients, even the generic stuff I have now. Some of those ingredients include organic chemicals made from chlorine molecules. If left in contact with metal, that's what causes the corrosion. Doubtful it would cause a lot of damage on a rim, but it would defeat the purpose of easy removal if the rim and tire were stuck together with a thin layer of rust.

considering tire soap is sooo easy to get. that or straight glycerine soap for washing fruits and vegi's to be eaton.. it's not too big an issue.
Absolutely. Easy to get and reasonably priced. It seems foolish not to have a gallon of tire lube on the shelf.
