The key is it's a "pin-hole" leak on the sidewall, which means there's no structure damage, nor a major leak where the tire pressure would drop 10 psi within a day or two. You can live with such slow leak for many months without repair as long as you keep up the tire pressure every week. What's the danger of doing this? And what's the danger of applying silicon to pin hole hopefully to slow down the leak to may be fill up the air once for every two weeks?Exactly. I doubt silicone would even hold pressure under all the flexing
And I do believe the silicon will hold for a period of time to cover the pin hole as it itself will flex with the sidewall. And it's will hold as the pressure from pin hole is very minimum.
So did you go ahead bought 4 new tires because of that pin hole leak on one tire with 16K miles?
