I'm not diasgreeing with you in theory (I don't know enough about it to be able to). Like you , I have a friend who runs a medium size tire shop (~$1M in tire sales), and it's what he has used for years. I don't know the relative cost of soap vs tire lube, but will ask him. For some of the big ag or construction tires that require 4 people to install, he has a 5 gallon bucket of blue smurf $hit that is used, but for everything else it's soap. I've seen lots of corrosion from the outside in, but almost never from the inside unless it's a tubed farm tire run in the poop all the time. Air filled as well.
