Why do people do shit like this lmao. I mean I know gas stations gouge the hell out of you to use the air compressor but using FAF to top off your tires is... an interesting way around it.

I'm surprised they could even put anything in the tire even after the first treatment. FAF by its nature seals holes, and usually the valve stem gets clogged as a result.

I can't imagine it being good for your wheel balance either. But if the ride is smooth then it should be good.
