Tireject sealant on clamped UTV tire sidewall

I clamped the sidewall of my almost new UTV tire. This is a Tusk Warthog 30x10-15 UTV tire. I pinched the sidewall of the tire near the bead as shown in the picture. The spare tire is $175, so I decided to try this $30 product. I have used Green Slime on other ATV tires in the past and it has worked well on the tread, but it has affected the tire's balance at higher speeds. from the valve stem, and then attach the syringe. I poured the watery blue liquid into the syringe and it drained into the splint without even having to use the syringe plunger to push it in. The valve stem was in the 6 o'clock position. Driving a car so I lifted the tire and spun for 5 minutes. It helped, but lost about 4psi in an hour. So I inflated the tire to about 20psi (normal is 12psi / max is 22psi) and spun the tire again for 5 minutes. This time there was almost no air loss or bubbles from the soapy water spray. The next day I took the car and drove around the farm for about an hour. I made several maneuvers to "load" the sidewall as much as possible. I was also able to do a few runs at around 30-50 mph. Results: No loss of pressure within an hour of riding, no blisters when applying soapy water, and no adverse effect on tire balance. The car has been in the garage for several days without any loss of pressure. At least the product drove the tire for at least a full day and at best fixed the tire permanently as the product claims. I will buy a trail kit, it can definitely save a life in the woods. I highly recommend this product for off-road tire repair. Update: Car has been standing for a few weeks, no loss of pressure! It took a significant ride and ran well with no loss of pressure during the ride. Tireject works as advertised. Update 2: It's been a year since I've been using Tireject. The repair was completed and the tire is still leak-proof today. I strongly recommend the product. Update 3: Two years old, still perfect. No leakage.
