Tire leaking fluid??
Hey Ya'll.
I was able to go to the Truckin' Throwdown on Friday. Holy cow were there some amazing trucks. Really big horsepower, and a few that could really handle. I noticed a tire that was leaking fluid from all the tread blocks and seams. I thought maybe a hose was leaking somehere. Do they put fluid in them like a tractor tire for more weight?

I didn't think about fix-a-flat. What's weird is it looked like the tire was sweating.

This should be interesting..... curious if any of the hardcore racers will give up the answer.

Could this be from running nitrogen instead of air? Or oil in an air line?

Tire doping? Was there a tread wear limit for trucks competing?

There was a 200 treadwear limit for tires. Watched a guy flat spot a brand new set of tires down to the cord in the stop box challenge. Great smoke!
I've heard of baseball players doping, but never tires.
