What's That Nasty Goop In My Tires?

I

Well-known Member
Trip to IL went great. Got back last night around 11. Thought you'd like to know.

Anyway...

Today I was putting a little air in a rear tire on the NH 8360. I knew they were filled, but when I put the chuck on it, this brown liquid squeaked out. It smells pretty nasty and reminds me of dirty, frothy engine oil. When it dried on my hand it was very sticky. Beet juice? Some other kinda stuff? Certainly isn't CaCl. Ideas?
 
That is a question I would also like to know. I broke down a trailer tire it had about a cup of brown slimy stuff, very slick. I thought maybe it was some sealer the tire place put in the tire when it was mounted. It is a new tire. stan
 
In 37cheifs tires I would say that when the tire was mounted they used tire mounting compound (tire grease) to get the bead seated. Over time it turns thin and brown. But it doesn't really stink or get sticky. As for the NH tires I have run into a tire ballast Ditch Witch uses that is brown and thick. It is also a sealer and very heavy. Rimguard (beet juice) is more red than brown and smells sweet like molasses. It is sticky and foams up. If it works and you can put the stem on top to check and add air then let it go.
 
I think they're filled all the way up 'cause I rolled the valve to the top and the stuff still came out. I kinda figured beet juice would be molasses-ey. I wonder if that brown and thick Ditch Witch stuff you talked might be what it is. Thanks!
