Changing a tire at home
I have tubeless on my tractor. I have green slime in those tires.
They stay up now. Lots of sticks and glass.
I figure the tire will be bare before it needs fixing.

This isn't the answer you asked for but have you considered using Slime w/o the tubes?
My 20 year old snowblower's tubeless tires would go flat in about 2 days. I didn't feel
like buying new ones since sears seemed rather proud of theirs.
So I bought a bottle of Slime. It is a tire sealant often used in dirt bikes and such. I
tested it by putting it in the deep freezer for a day and it was still liquid.
I haven't put air in my snow blower tires in about a month. You do have to take your
tires for a trip to coat them. I thought at first this was a failure but after a few
times snow blowing, the air leakage stopped.

Why in He double el they put tubeless tires on snow blowers and
wheelbarrows, etc., I'll never figure out. After a maximum of five
years you must either do as above or install tubes; so why not
develope customer satisfaction in the first place. Its not like they
are having a heat problem from high speed driving or something.
