I agree with DanielW. Don't use WD 40. Especially on tires involving a tube.
I have used dish soap. But only when needed, and diluted with water.
Lube makes life easier, but is not critical that you use it every time on every tire like it's a have to thing. In fact, if your doing the old pry bar method to mount and dis-mount, and not using a tire machine, I don't think lube helps all that much anyways. Just my opinion. The old pry bar method to mount, is just going to be a bear cat no matter how you go about it (lube or no lube). Been my experience. Positioning of the portion of the tire bead already over the rim is key more than anything. More than the lube. When doing it by hand with prybars anyways.
On a machine it's more critical. The arm of the machine that has to roll along that tire bead needs some lube to eliminate the friction there (riding against that raw rubber). You don't have that friction type scenerio going on with the ratation of the machine when prying one on with prybars.
