Rim Guard™ was developed and patented in 1998 as a liquid tire ballast that overcame all of the shortcomings of other liquid tire ballasts.
. Rim Guard™ is nearly 30% heavier than water.
. Rim Guard™ is non-corrosive.
. Rim Guard™ is non-toxic and biodegradable.
. Rim Guard™ is freeze-resistant down to -35°F.
. Rim Guard™ is cost effective because inner tubes are not needed and tires are easier to repair.
I've been using this in my farm tractors for about 8 years now, it is FANTASTIC.
You want to see BIG $$ try replacing a 40" rim on an 11,000 lb tractor because of calcium chloride damage. Almost rolled that tractor on a hillside, the downside rim just collapsed, the rims looked fine on the outside...very scary. Don't know current pricing but worth looking into for my GT's when the time comes.
