I agree with Brian. I think fluid of any kind in tires is worthless, and you might as well put something factory correct on your tractor. Also easier to fix flat tires when nothing is inside.

Washer fluid is very flammible, and burns almost invisable.
Try R.V. anti-freeze, -50 below, heavier than water, non-corosive, and environmentally safe. Watch for it to go on sale, and stock up on in. It's the most expensive in the fall.

You will be wasting your time and money. It is no where near as heave as calcium and the alcohol in it will dry out your tires. Buy the cast iron weights. It will be much cheaper in the long run.

My $0.02 worth.

I use straight antifreeze. I don't like Chloride.

I do not recommend calcium. I would never use it. However, the weight of it is nearly twice that of antifreeze and it doesn't kill animals or people that drink it in the event of a spill.
