jr, Calcium Chloride is usually used in tires for the weight. It weighs more than antifreeze/water mix or windshield washer fluid. I suspect you'll need around 50 gallons to fill each tire. If you used a 50/50 mix of antifreeze it'll take 50 gal. to do both tires, plus 50 gal. of water. It'd take 100 gal. of the windshield stuff. Call an ag tire dealer and ask how much to fill your tires. I'd bet you come out ahead with the CaCl. You might have to replace the tubes in your rears if they don't hold air for long periods (a month or more). If you do, while the tires are off, clean and paint the insides of the rims with a good quality zinc chromate primer and a couple of coats of spray enamel (black is fine) to help keep rust to a minimum. Good luck, Phil
