Hey Patrick, -In Phoenix, AZ commuting during the summer. -Switchback Hill 584x48 Extra light, they took a lot of sealant before they stopped weeping -2 OZ Orange Seal Endurance every two-ish months. I'll do a shake test to see if there's any liquid in there.
Try adding sealant more frequently. The dry air really seems to do a number on the sealant. I've considered painting the inside of tires with a thin coat of redguard (elastomeric sealant used for waterproofing) to prevent new tires weeping saelant. Ill be sure to write a report If i ever get around to that experiment.
