You are right, you should never use "this CRAP" in a tubless tire. You should use a tube. Any time I get a flat in a Michelin I get a tube put in. However if my garden tractor or farm tractor get a slow leak, I use the CRAP. The CRAP has always worked and has never rotted any tubes which I have used for over 10 years. Since my tractors don't have spare tire, it is much easier to use the CRAP than remove the wheel and take it to a tire shop.
