Best rear tire filler for cold weather

[Soundguy]

you put air and fluid in a tire the exact same way. thru the valve stem

I know that but how do you get the water into the valve stem ,, sorry never done that?

jack that tire up, remove core.. deflate tire.

pump or garvity feed ballast liquid into tire using a piece of rubber line pushed over the valve stem. 5/16 maybee.. whatever fits your stem. then a pump. drill pump.. etc..

use a burp valve.

many people put in a concentrat like ww fluid or af first. then add water. the ballast can go in without the burp valve usually.. then hookup a water hose ( garden hose ).. and fill it hitting the burp button now and then.

when you have fluid over the top of the top of the rim, remove hose and slap valve core in. then air tire up to propper pressure.

obviously start with stem at top.. etc.

if you are tubeless and tire comes off bead/rim at deflate. you have a problem. which is why I like tubes....

ps. napa and tractor supply and probably most farm stores have the burp valve that goes from hose thread to valve stem thread ( with a couple different size adapters to cover most common stem types. )

have fun!

in florida I use safe antifreeze and just add enough to prevent a solid freeze.. slushy is fine.. which is a pretty thin mix for florida.. then I hose it the rest with h20..

cheap weight

To the OP,
Is the fluid actually freezing or is just the tires are flat spotted from the cold. Some brands of tires are much worse than others for doing this.

Study it out before you try it. I jacked the tractor off the ground a couple inches and as soon as I let the air out the bead popped loose and Rimguard started dumping all over. Then you have a problem. I understand that if the tire is jacked up but still resting slightly on the ground it should be alright. Just food for thought.

This works very well in my experience.
