If you do not have fluid or a tube in the tire I would recommend "real" tire sealant. Not slime or fix-a-flat. Maybe some types of slime. I use a Leak sealer that I get in a five gallon bucket form JD. Part number TY15833 list price $109. Put half the bucket in each tire. Pump them up and drive around. They may leak the first day or so but after that your good to go for a long time.
This sealer is not sticky. It is water soluble. Meaning when you want to replace the tires just wash it off the rim with a garden hose and cold water.
I have two sets of Continental Tires that look like your Michelins. The tread is like iron and is not worn much at all. The side walls started to crack internally. They would pinch the tubes and leak. I hated to replace tires with 75% tread. So I took the tubes out and mounted the tires tubeless. This is on a JD 4440 that is our TMR tractor. This was 10 years ago and I have not had a flat since. Might have to add air once or twice each year but not often.
I also have a JD 4020 that I use to bush hog with. The front and back tires are loaded with thorns/sticks/etc. They look like a pin cushion. I mounted them tubeless with the sealer over 15 years ago. I got tired of the tires being flat all the time when it set. On them I put a five gallon bucket in each rear tire and split a bucket between the front tires. I know this was $300 of sealer but any tires that I would have put n the tractor would have picked up the junk and leaked. This way I just keep on driving with the old "HARD" tires.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
