Everybody wants to guess what WD40 is and no one reads the MSDS. You're pretty close.
It's 60% Stoddard solvent, 25% de-waxed petroleum oil and a few this and that's. (No fish oil regardless of what you might read on the internet.
)
If it works for you to lock down the tire then done deal. But both primary ingredients are known to be unfriendly to natural rubber so keep an eye out for that type of damage. The tire glued to the rim because the WD40 dissolved some of the rubber I'd guess. Pretty much like my PVC water sprinkler system.

As a kid I used it to hold grips on BMX bikes that we used for the purpose of repeatedly Jumping off a ramp set up off the end of boat docks into a lake. Grips stayed put where even Gorilla Glue failed miserably at the task.
