I used washer fluid rated to -20*F. I got 2 gallons washer fluid in each front tire and 5 gallons in each rear tire.

Lately I use tubes and a product called Rim Guard. It is beet juice (http://www.rimguard.biz/). That is the heaviest product I've found by galion you can use.

I have one set of tires that still have calcium and tubes in them. Tires are 12 years old and not having any problems with them.

Some have used windshield wiper fluid, RV antifreeze, water and used auto antifreeze.

One thing I do to all my tires is put tubes in them.

I still use it. Only hard on rims if it leaks. Can't beat the weight.

I am with Merk on beet juice and definitely on tubes. I have a set of the Luggs on my tractor with the sweepster broom, but never had cause to use it in the snow yet.....maybe this year!!

This option is more costly if you do not already have the weights to slap on. BTW, the 10 lb. and smaller weights work best and I have about 70-80 lbs. each side. You could run these and IH wheel weights on the inside.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
