Leaking filled tire

[Window Geek]

Soundguy,
I'm thinking not tubed. The valve stem is kind of a screw on dual diameter setup. I got a throw-away style tire pressure gauge and found no measurable pressure. Pushed the tires back up to 40 psi and the leaks stopped. Between filling #1 and #2 tire I had #2 tire leak a few gallons from the inside bead. Once I got the pressure to 20 pounds, the gushing stopped. I know I lost some ballast because I get a little bouncing now if I move the FEL fast.
I'll wait for warmer weather and switch to Rim Gard.

Thanks for all your help and suggestions folks. Hr3 and Alan, I owe you guys. Looks like I can still plow tomorrow.

the 2 part stems are common.. can be tubed or not. base of stem will tell you if it is a tube or not though as tubeless stems have a sealing grommet that holds the stem in the rim.. tube don't.

clean them rims off good.. if it is cacl it's way corosive. no way I'd ever load a tubless with cacl...

I have this same stem (made for liquid-filling) on my rear tube. Look for a molded rubber seal to the rim.

I would ask one of the bigger tire delaer who have mobile trucks with small cranes for pricing - i.e. Michelin, ask Tire Warehouse; maybe even Milton Cat.
