If flat frequency is still problematic, you probably don't need to worry too much - you'll be losing sealant a little at a time, any way, and you'll probably have tires beat up enough to warrant replacing before the tread wears out.
I agree.

I'm also all-in for preventive maintenance. I've read & learned a lot since my 1st flat on TL setup last month, and I plan on getting one of these syringes with tubes that goes inside the tire through the valve. It's easy to check your sealant level & see if it's still good. Cheap and effective.
