Hi all,
I have been considering getting the rear tires on my 2400H filled and was researching Rim Guard Vs CC (Calcium Chloride) and here is what two different local tire shops told me. Both of these shops are n smaller towns and majority of their tires are large Ag tires.
Both of these shops offer either Rim Guard or CC. NOTE: Not sure if both are authorized Rim Guard dealers or not.
Both shops said they have never had a customer that wanted the Rim Guard reinstalled after having a flat.
Reasons stated are:
Difficult to wash the Rim Guard off of some materials.
Rim Guard will stain some materials.
Very difficult to pump in cooler / cold weather
To expensive Vs CC
Has anyone else heard of similar issues in your area?
Not wanting to start a debate on the corrosiveness or environmental hazards of CC Vs Rim Guard. In Illinois the county and state spread more calcium in a day on the road in front on my house than I would ever use in tires in ten life times..
