Got myself in a sketchy situation the other day, and decided, I need to add weight. I normally throw a heavy 6 ft frontier box blade on the back for weight, but was working in the woods where it was pretty tight. Anyway, fronts got pretty buried, and rears just didn't have the traction, so
Two cheap butt questions;
1) How long does Temps have to be below 32' F to actually freeze water in a tire, and how catosphoic is it? My old Kubota had what I Think was straight water and never saw an issue. We get Temps down to low-mid 20s most years, but we never have a day where Temps stay below freezing foe 24 hrs; it's certainly news worthy if we have 8 hrs below 32. Straight water?
2) With above (yes, I've looked, no answers easily found), would say, 1 gal windshield fluid to 5 gal water, provide a significant freeze protection? Really don't need 0 degrees protection,
3) Am I overthinking it; ground is never going to get below 45 degrees even on an end of the world cold snap,
Edit: 15-19.5 R14s if that's relevant
