My 10.5 x 29.5S C07 Hoosiers do not leak at all with nothing done on the inside.
I have been unable to stop the tire from moving on the rim without screws. Tried dry, Aqua-net hairspray and weatherstrip adhesive. Swapped them and they just repeated the other way. My latest effort is Permatex High Tack brush-on. Do not know if that will do it. I have heard that knurled rims will sometimes do the trick.
I believe the main problem is my old Motorwheel Flys because I know of people with the same class car, with more modern rims that do not use screws and there is no tire movement.

I would also say it may be the Fly's,just like the old Supertricks.Also I would be leery of using any kind of glue/sealer as it may "weld" the tire to the rim,and make it hard to remove the tire later.Those rims are flimsy and you don't want to bend or crack one!...gsa612
