Why on Earth did you decide to mold these little ribs into the tire’s bead surface, thereby causing sidewall leaks when installing your tires?

Perhaps a tire shop that uses that black goopy sealer junk wouldn’t have sealing problems with these ribs, but as someone who as cleaned a lot of that old black goopy crap from wheels, it’s not something I’m keen on using.
What can I use instead…?
A Dremel with a sanding drum, that’s what! Two tires wouldn’t seal on the wheels, each with 32 little rubber ribs, for a total of 64 nubs sanded down.
On a positive note, for second-hand $10-per-tire all-seasons, these Continental ContiProContacts seem to stick to the pavement pretty well!
