I wouldn't want to be riding on them hard; although, if I did get a flat would I be able to get back to where I might be able to have it fixed? Best regards. If you damaged the tire enough so it went flat, even with sealant/balancer in it, the sealant would only make things worse because it would get messy. -- The value of the sealant (proven to me several times over the past 50 years), is to keep the tires from going flat in the first place,.. from the most common types of punctures,.. nails, screws, etc. -- Of all the tire puncture incidents I have had (in both tubed and tubeless tires), I never had one where the sealant/balancer did anything other than seal the hole. -- The only time I ever had to deal with it being messy was when I was replacing a worn tubeless tire with a new one. Yes, there is some clean up involved. 15 minutes and a 1/4 roll of paper towels,.. no problem,.. just another tedious step in the tire changing procedure.
