Fluid filling rear ym2000 tires

As I read that Goodyear description: They are describing how to do a 75% fill which includes seating the bead at 35 psi before and then after the liquid fill. Then reduce pressure to 1-2 lbs above recommended inflation pressure, lower the jack, and then make final adjustment of pressure.

Then they go on to say you might want to run 40% fill instead, for better ride quality and to control power hop. Your choice - maximum weight, or else lower water level to attain those other objectives.

I'll add a comment here - if you are filling direct from a garden hose, check the tire pressure frequently and bleed as necessary. You have 60-90 psi of water pressure available from the hose which could burst the tire if left unattended.

I made a simple tool for this.

One detail isn't obvious - before any water would come out I had to remove the little nub inside the head, the nub that presses on the tire's Schrader valve and is also a check-valve to keep air from leaking out when that head isn't on a tire.

i got the valve that they sell at TSC it was just under $10 i think, i got it over 6 months ago. Here is my next question. The valve i have has a nipple that screws onto the valve stem and then it has a quick release that hooks onto the part that then screws onto the hose. Short explination is that you can separate the hose end from the tire with a quick realease attachment. It also has an air bleeder.

Heres the question sorry, how do i put antifreeze into the tire with this or with the one like you have, i have been saving it from maintence on my vehicles. My thought is to take a 6 foot piece of garden hose with the end that connects to the tire valve and then use a funnel and hose clamp on the other end and pour the antifreeze into the hose and thus the tire. Does anyone think this wont work, i dont see why it wont?
