I moved on to working on my exhaust and a few hours later, heard a hissing and confirmed with soapy water they were leaking.
Seems like the car has to adjust to the right height to position that dry rot right on the roll. So depending on what angle the car is parked/snow under one wheel; it could change the outcome.
Just replace them with Arnott and be done. Easy to do and trying to save $100 on an $80k car with ebay parts isn't worth it

So, disconnect battery, puncture to deflate, reinstall new Arnott ones with dust cover per 1st post, reconnect battery and allow them to inflate fully, lower down after fully inflated and drop jack to let it settle, then done??
