    Oh, so tubeless is better for lower tire pressures? Okay, gotcha. My kevlar BMX bike tires are rated for 60psi, so of course when they’re brand new I pump them up to 90psi, so low pressure tires aren’t even on my radar.

    Now of course as my tires age and wear out, I gradually reduce my max tire pressure accordingly, until they basically wear out bald and need to be replaced. I get that I shouldn’t overpressure my tires like that, but it makes BMX flatland tricks go way smoother.

    Perhaps its just that there really isn’t any good viable sealant for such high pressures though, tube or tubeless tires. Patch/plug or replace is the only way to go for me, bicycle tire sealant is effectively useless in my experience. I’ve had patched tubes last more than 4 years without any leaks, until I manage to ride over something else to cause another puncture.

    And no, our vehicle doesn’t have TPS sensors either, I just figured I’d mention the fact that modern FaF is advertised as sensor safe, and doesn’t clog the valve. Now I dunno about older formulas of FaF…
