Tanner – That fluid (probably a calcium chloride and water solution) will not hurt the new tires and rims so long as it remains contained inside the tubes. My recommendation however is to get rid of the liquid ballast and substitute wheel weightsinstead for ballast.

But if elect to reinstall the ballast fluid here’s a couple things I’d do:

1 – Buy a new set of tubes. The reason you’ve got seepage and rim rot is there’s a slow leak in the valve stems or the tubes. So get rid of those old tubes!

2 – Once you get the tires off the old rims, wash the tires out thoroughly to get rid of every trace of antifreeze leakage. Then let the tires dry completely before installing the new tubes and mounting on the new rims.
