New tires tubed?

[chuck172]

I just called about getting my tires loaded, I'm expecting delivery next week. I got a price of $150. for both with calcium chloride. The tire man recommends that the tires be tubed. Do new 15x19.5 industrial tires for a kioti ck35 come tubed?
Should I look elsewhere and get rimguard instead?

CaCl is corrosive. Depending on costs, I'd go with tubes or a less corrosive fluid. Mine are filled with a glycol mix (no tubes, I think).

Personally I would go with rimguard or some other non corrosive fill. if you are going to run CaCl then you will need to tubes. The other think to consider is if the tube leaks inside of a normally tubeless tire, you may not know there is a problem until the corrosion eats threw the rim.

Most dealers will fill with water/antifreeze or windshield washer mix for free. For more weight, I'd spend the money on Rimguard instead of CaCl, and skip tubes. That way, they just have to fill the tires and not mess with remounting them to get a tube in.

IMHO go with Rimguard.It will keep your rims from rusting out.

I've read other posts about guys filling their own tires with windshield washer anti freeze fluid. I just priced 55 gallons of it and it was $180.00 at grainger. Are there any other places to get it cheaper?

Tractor Supply just had a sale at 2 for 3.00$. You should be able to get it at less than 2.00 a gallon easy.

Not sure where you live, but if in cold climate, make sure you get the WW fluid that is good to -40 or so.

Starting about this time of year, you start to see alot of the +32 stuff come out. And if you dont pay attention, you wont realize you messed up til next winter

WWF, how toxic is it if I get a leak? How many gallons per tire would I need? 15x19.5?

Get 'em foam filled and never have to worry about them leaking.corrosion, getting punctured etc.
