Id have to say fluid is better in this case. The fluid will put the weight on the tire tread itself, and not on the axle, crushing the tire down, instead of putting weight on the tread itself, and putting a more heavier foot print on the tread bars of the tire, wheel weights,, just make the frame heavier, and really affects the tire tread, lets say you dont have enough tire pressure with wheel weights,, the tire will buckle under and create a crown in the track cause it pushes the center of the tread upwards towards the rim, the fluid, will prevent this from happening cause it has more weight structure inbetween the tire and the rim and not allow so much of a buckle of the diameter of the tire. Pullers do use weights to make fast changes in weight to go from class to class, but if they ever stayed in one class, and set up a tractor with liquid weights in the tires, the liquid tire will hook harder than ones with wheel weights, then use the suitcase weights to balance the frame to create leverage to keep the sled moving. JMHO,, ChadS
