It would seem a lot easier to unbolt a weight instead of having to drain the tires out. Liquid doesn't compress so I could imagine the ride being rough.

Shane the tire isn't totally filled with fluid so the ride isn't that bad. Wheel weights can be done but having the loaded tires adds more weight right at the tire tread. If your just mowing your yard that's nice and flat you should be ok with out loading your tires. But if you do snow removal or ground engaging work with your cub you'll need loaded tires in my opinion.
It's what ever works for you. I think what we're all trying to say is it's not unusal to have loaded tires.
