weepy sidewalls on tubeless tire?
this is the 3rd different tubeless tie I have used its a WTB byway 650x47. but I never seen anything like this little leaks close to the bead. at first though it was shut from the bead its self but nope and its both sides and al the way around.

I think it will seal up. You might add another ounce of sealant since some is already used up.

Is there still a thing of there being tires that are tubeless compatible/ready vs straight tubeless? The first group being permeable sidewalls that require sealant to hold air; the second group technically not requiring sealant.
