Can I use other lubricants instead of this fluid?

Where should I store Schwalbe Easy Fit Fluid?

What if my tire still won't seat after using the fluid?
Make sure your rim and tire are the correct size and type. Check the tire bead to make sure it is aligned properly, and reapply the fluid. If the issue continues, it may be a tire or rim defect.
Troubleshooting
Tire bead does not seat properly.
Ensure the fluid was applied evenly around the entire bead. Try re-applying the fluid and re-inflating the tire. Make sure the tire is properly aligned with the rim.
Fluid is not dispensing.
Ensure the bottle is stored upright. Try pressing the applicator gently to saturate it with fluid. If it still doesn't dispense, check for any blockage and clean the applicator.
Tire still difficult to mount.
Double-check that you're using the correct size tire for your rim. Ensure the tire bead is fully seated on the rim. Use tire levers carefully if needed.
