Yes, that's what it says on the label. My concession to safety was, the following day to let out the propellent in the tire and refill with clean air from the pump. The tire itself remained well inflated for the rest of the winter at which point I sold the clunker and got back on my bike. When I lived in New England I would buy an old beater in November and sell it in April. No need to buy Michelin tires for it... Retreads from the junk yard were fine.
