Had something similar in a friends motorbike front tyre, that he filled the front tyre twice with slime.
I've used slime before as you can wash the slime out with water. Used slime on motorbikes that have had a puncture, not run with the slime in all the time only when had a puncture.
Did they balance the tyres afterwards?
Have used this https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-bicycle-tyre-sealant/p/0344045 before on tubeless tyres with porous rims and that no longer seal on the edge. Worked fine and no effect on wheel balance.

Anyone got any form of tubeless sealant in their tyres? Have a set of new tyres that now leak steadily through the wheel itself. So need refurb'd but don't have time till end of the month.
Tyre shop put some magic sealant in (gonna be tractor tyre sealant I imagine!). Great slow leak is stopped. But now have quite bad steering wheel shake when accelerating from 60-xx. Basically any harder acceleration above 60 gets quite bad, until speed reduced a bit, then accelerate again a little more gentle. Thought it was maybe CV shaft had gone but just had a feel and they are still spot on.
Sealant doing weird dances inside the tyre? Zero idea how much they put in.
