Got these Deestones in the back of my truck, man this thing should really pull about anything with these fulla fluid.
My local tractor guru runs tubeless tires with antifreeze and Bar's Leaks stop leak in his yard dog's tires. Says no flats in 10+ yrs.

I plan to get the same thing done really soon before it snows around here. Today I called my tire shop and they really where not in love with the calcium in the tubes either. He said that the valves in the tunes tubes for tractors don't really hold up that well and was worried in time that they will fail. I think I might go with the windshield wiper in tubes approach. Sound good?

How much do they charge for this operation?

It's not that bad. $45 per tire and that includes the tube but I have to provide the fluid.

It's TireKing in Sussex.

Man, this IS some sort of sickness-ya'll should have seen the look on the wife's face when she walked in on me pouring washer fluid into tires.

I got 5 gallons into each of them-the Deestones are definately shorter and skinnier than the OE Goodyears with "Made in U.S.A." stamped into them. The font of the lettering stamped into the Deestones strangely looks the same though.

They are going to charge you $45 per tire to put fluid (whatever kind) into a tire, AND you have to provide the fluid?!?!?! That's a rip off!! If your going to use WWF, just do it yourself!

Oh no they are doing more then just the fluid. This includes removing the tires from the rims, installing tubes, putting the tubes and tires back on the rims then adding the fluid. If I had the tubes in the tires already I would do this myself but taking the tires off and putting them back on by hand is just a pain to do. So all this for $45 is not all that bad.

Agreed, my shop only charged $34.15 for both of my rear 26-12x12 super tires, AND they provided the antifreeze.
