I had much the same problem. While I pride myself on my ability to
analyze and fix pretty much anything (I'm a Dad - it's what we do!), I'm
just not inclined to spend the time or energy to fix every damn thing in
sight anymore. So I bought an inner tube at Harbor Freight for $2.99.
Problem solved!

It probably doesn't make a lot of difference on a snowthrower, but did you
drill the tire? If not, monitor the pressure for a while. You can wind up
with air in the tube, and air within the tubeless tire if the bead seals
while you're inflating the tube. The air within the tire will still slowly
leak out so the pressure within the tube will drop. Sooner or later it will
stabilize.

"Problem solved!" means exactly that. The problem was solved for $2.99
and about 10 minutes to install the tube. Sometimes, if it seems too
good to be true, it's still true.
