Quoting Removed, click Modern View to seeI don't think the tractor was meant for the salt flats. Good one from Burt: "If you don't follow through on your dreams, you might as well be a vegetable." Cabbage he decided.
I thought it would be a reference to using shoe polish to make an old horse look younger for a quick sale to a rube. Apparently it does the same for tires.

Flex seal is silicone rubber. It is not very stiff, but it is very stretchy. It is softer than the tire, it will not share the load because it will stretch much more than the rubber under the same load.

Too long didn't watch. Third world, poverty cheap labor backbreaking hand work to save a few bucks on a tire.
