That may work, but I've never tried.
I've taken off plenty of tires off of agricultural equipment. The insides don't tend to suffer a lot, even though they're old tires, spending a lot of time sitting in the sun, gather few real miles. Often, a taxi tire would get a second life as a tire on a discer or a seed drill, which is the best apples to apples comparison, because you could retrofit such a thing with those tubeless tires.
This would be far more effective. I've been using it for two years now and am extremely pleased.

By the way, before I purchased lifetime nitrogen fills for all of my vehicles, I used SCUBA tank air...as dry and clean a supply of air as you will find.
