I learned to never take a tire that has had sealer added into a tire shop.  Those guys hate that stuff because it makes their life very difficult if you want to (for example) have a new tire mounted on the rim.  All that crud has to be scraped out and the bead polished.

Lawn mower tires, ZTR &/or rider, are simple to put new tires on the rims. All one needs is a couple of C clamps and/or vise grips, a pry or crow bar and a tightening rope or belt, and AmerSeal inside is no big deal. It cleans off easily, especially with a little lacquer thinner. I've replaced multiple mower tires on my mowers over the years and never had any problems at all. Done it right there on my driveway.

Tom,
My SIL's John Deere 650 right rear tire has a leak at the rim. It had the leak before/after new tires. We suspect the rim is slightly bent.

He was going to  put slime in it, I assume  AmerSeal is  better with all your experience using it. I have never heard of it until now.

I would never use Slime, but AmerSeal is really good stuff. I would never use any of those types of sealants in highway/road vehicle tires, though, although according to their website videos I guess some semi drivers do use it.

I was peeking at commercial deere ztrs and saw they have these funky airless tires and they make them for both front and rear ones. maybe those will work for you? not cheap though.
