I use a product called Wheel Mate which is 0.030 of an inch and goes between the hub and the wheel. Put one on each wheel and the wheels comes off with just a tap, problem solved. Got mine from AutoBarn.

I am concerned that one day I will get a flat tire and won't be able to remove the wheel. I think this can even be dangerous if I get a flat in the rain or in winter when the ground may be slippery, or if I cant find perfectly level ground to jack up my truck.
Has anyone else had this problem, and what is the best way to prevent it.
Can the tire be lubricated, and with what kind of lubricant?
