I like Ride-On tire balancer / sealant. It's not the best sealant but it's a great balancer. The good old string plugs work great for puctures anyway. Mine has one or two in it now due to all the construction around. I never give my tire a thought any more, it's just normal. I do get some interested people asking about it though.
Interesting.... how many miles do you have on it now in the rear, and how is tread wear?

I have almost 11,500 on it and I can't tell you on wear, it still looks brand new.
