Fluid above or below the rim makes no difference. Put a tube in the tire and save yourself the slow leaks and rim rusting. A little o2 diffuses it's way through the tire. Over the years along with other chemical reactions using little or no o2 will pin hole a rim. Go with dry mid to premium quality radials, save fuel and increase the crop yeilds.
