I definitely have a slow leak in my rear tire, so I tried the soap method to see where there might be a hole. It seemed like the whole tire seam was bubbling up? Is the tire screwed or am I looking at this too hard
What’s going on with my tire?

Running tubeless btw
Did you put the sealant in? Rotate the tire so it gets distributed everywhere and plugs all of those tiny holes.
Most tubeless tyres you get are not actually “tubeless”, but “tubeless ready” – they are designed to work with and without a tube and have thin, porous, lightweight casings that require sealant to be made airtight.
It’s rabid obviously
Make sure you really shake up the sealant before you top up. You see this regularly when that’s not done.
High performance tubeless ready tyres are really thin, and only airtight with sealant. Use good sealant and really shake it up first, then rotate the wheel in all directions to ensure it completely costs the inside of the tyre. Should be good then.
What’s it say on the sidewall? I can’t quite read it with the camera moving so fast.
