Loading Tires???????????

[JimR]

Has anyone ever loaded their own tires? What did you put in them Calcium, antifreeze, etc?????. Where did you get a pump to fill them or did you make one?

Low temp WW fluid. The item to use comes from NAPA and screws on the valve stem. It let's you burp the air. About 7 bucks. There was a great thread on this a while back.

Thanks for the info. I'll be heading there today. I guess it will take many many gallons to fill the tires up.

Yes you can.

I did mine last year.

I used rim guard.

I have a real problem with using windshield washer fluid. That stuff costs nearly a buck a gallon!

Why not fill with plain water and add a gallon of alcohol per tire?

I don't know that I would do that. Some oils have additives that destroys certain rubbers.

Oil is lighter than water.
