How much fluid?

[64fleetside]

Got 2 new Deestone 23x10.50x12s coming tomorrow from my local tire store. Seems like I've read somewhere on here how much fluid they can hold but cannot find it thru the search feature.
Anyone know off the top of their head?
I have 7 gallons on hand here at work.

I think that they hold between 7 and 8 gallons each. 7 IIRC. Been a while since I added ballast.

Thanks, Jonathan.

Had them squish 8 gallons into the pair I have . I have two pair both the beet juice and the salt brine , salt only because the dealer missled me , we'll see how long the rims last.

The rim will last forever provided they have tubes in them and the tubes don't leak, if they put calcium in tubeless tire you need to march them back over there and demand they do it right or you won't have any wheels left in a year.

I normally put 6 gallons in tires that size. Need some room for air in there,too.

Just to play the "devils advocate", in the AG world we do CaCl2 in tubeless tires all the time. As long as the fluid completely covers the rim inside (which it is supposed to) and the stem doesn't leak, they won't rot that way. They've been doing that for years with no issues.

Yes that is true but here in the real world 99% of people with a slow leak don't rush right out and get it repaired, often time most people won't get it repaired until the damage is already starting to be done.

I don't disagree. But, in all honesty that is their fault. Not the equipment, or the calcium's fault. Same thing happens when a tube leaks. No different. Like I said, I'm only playing devils advocate. I'm not opposed to CaCl2, tubes or no tubes. Done it both ways.

When are you not playing devils advocate?
