My MF 135 rear tire leaks around the valve stem and when the stem cap is removed. This happened when I tried to add air to improve the seating of the tire on the rim, because the tire has separated from the rim by about 1/2 inch. I am trying to understand if it is a tube or tubeless tire. The valve stem looks like a tubeless tire because it has a nut at the rim, but the separation of the tire from the rim would seem like it had a tube, and the tire does not look deflated.
What would be the best approach? Can it be used as it is, or repair the valve stem without removing the tire, or does the tire have to be removed?
