It seems to me the silicone is a much better approach, if you are not going to replace the traction tire in kind.
You could be right, but a few of us in the Independent Hi-Railers, Midwest Division, have applied Bull Frog Snot to a few MTH steam locomotive models, and have had no problems. However, we do layer the snot with multiple applications, 30 minutes to an hour apart, thus filling the tire groove completely, and then let the model sit up-side-down over night to cure.
