Fluid in tires
 

Just filled up the rears with washer fluid almost 5 gallons in each! My dad and I pumped it in with a bug/lawn sprayer! Guy at tractor supply suggested it instead of calcium. Just a thought, I'd throw out there? :biggrin2:

Calcium is 1950 technology. It will rust your rims or anything else in comes in contact with. You will be okay with the ww fluid.

I Use RV anti-freeze it's NON-TOXIC and has rust inhibitors. I also use a pump sprayer, works great!!

personally, I have never filled any tires but my neighbor took his GT (another color) to the local tractor dealership for fluid. They used half water and half antifreeze. seemed to work just fine.:beerchug:

Ya never thought of antifreeze thats also a great idea!

Regular Automotive antifreeze is VERY VERY TOXIC and should not be used for this application!!!!

So is WW fluid.Yet we all spray gallons of it on our windshields every year that ends up in the ditches, rivers, streams and ground. Along with that all the gasoline, carb cleaner, starter fluid, PB Blaster, WD40, ect., that we use and consume. If someone is not purposly polluting,and putting it in a sound tire, I see no problem using it. All vehicle owners have gallons of it sitting out in their driveway, many of them leaking. IMHO

Yes, if it leaks out the dogs will lap it up like nobody's business. Don't let it leak out.

The antifreeze is expensive, I would work hard not to loose it.

Current production antifreeze should have bitters in it to stop animals from drinking.

Tractor tire dealers near here use a low cost version of antifreeze without the engine protection products in it.

A 50/50 mix is not necessary unless you shed gets to -50 degrees.

Just mix per container instructions to get the freeze point that is below your local low temp.

Personally I change the antifreeze in the truck, dilute what I drain out and use that. Kills two birds with one stone!!

I went with the antifreeze myself - worked pretty well. I mixed 3 gallons antifreeze to 4 gallons water. The mix should keep the tires from freezing up anywhere above -20 F. In southwestern PA, this should suffice. As far as filling method - BREAK THE BEAD! It was by far the easiest method I could think of.
