anti freeze for wheel weights
 

Hidy yall

Someone elsewhere here mentioned anti freeze for wheel weights.
Will that rust a rim?

Any down side to it?

Any idea what a 23x10.5 for a 1650 would weigh per wheel?
Do you fill it as full as possible?

My land is hilly and I need little more traction on some angles in grass.

Thanks yall,
Earl

I use RV antifreeze. Some guys use regular antifreeze others use windshield washer fluid. I take the wheel off and break the bead on the valve stem side then just pour it in. I'm getting old and my memory is going, no make gone bad but I think I got about 9 gals in my 23X12X10.5's so 70 lbs. give or take per wheel. Gotta get around to doing my Supers they are way too light in the butt, or I need to drink a lot more beer. :beerchug:

I change the antifreeze in my vehicles, mix what I drained out of the car 50-50 with more water, and use it in the tires.

You get to kill 2 birds with one stone!!

Antifreeze has rust inhibitors, so, it protects the steel.

My 10.5 x 23 have 3 gals of windshield washer fluid per. never weighed them but it should add approx 23-24 pounds each.

Well it looks like it is done by several.
I did not know about rust inhibiters in anti freeze. Good!

I never thought to break the bead an pour it in.
But that is a good idea.

I will weigh the tire before I do it.
Then I will weigh the tire after and will know the weight I get in them.

I need to get to antifreeze sale.

I had not thought of windshield wiper fluid. It is probably cheaper. I do not know about rust though.

I hope to find some iron weights eventually.
But I need traction now.

Thanks yall

never heard of rust forming from windshield washer fluid.

Filled 2 sets of 23x10.50-12's now with washer fluid. Both held about 7 and half gallons each if i remember right. Tire filled combined weight was right about 95lbs a tire. Only cost about $20 a set. Broke the bead down on one spot only took about an hour for both.

wind shield wiper fluid
 

If wind shield wiper fluid does not rust rims then I would rather have it.
It is a lot cheaper.

Thanks again
Earl

WWF
 

I have 9 gallons of WWF in each 23x10.5 and I'm pretty sure it won't rust my wheels. Each wheel, tire and fluid weighs 90 pounds.

I used old atifreeze from our shop in 122 ag tires added about 50 lbs. per wheel. broke one side down and filled from side. you get more in that way.
