I can see how having less service area to let air escape might make that possible. But never ever think you can stop checking. That's how you will tell if you have a slow leak. With or without this stuff.

100% on target !

And even though i run ride-on i still chk tire pressure on a regular basis & adj as required.

However, he doesn't mind much and I wouldn't ride without it. It also allowed me to remove a whole boatload of weights off my wheel. I used the slime product in the past and can say that it ruins your inner wheel and is much harder to clean up.

I seen a couple tire changes with it and have never seen it do that. It looks like it was full of air?

, It still had some air pressure left in it when he popped the rim, or it wouldn`t have done that.

He did let some air out but not all of it because it did make a blast when he broke the bead. Like I said though, cleans up easier than slime.

That HAD to have been freshly put in. Have had many tires changed since I started using the stuff and it was always set against the inner ridiing surface of the tire. Never have I seen it still in any type of liquid form after it has set up.

I put it in about 5 months ago. 850 miles on it.

That picture is a good reference.
Wonder if wheel was carried into the shop after laying on its side (trunk/back of truck).
The viscous fluid appears to be pooling in one direction.
