I had the local ag tire store fill mine when I bought my tractor. They had 2ea 55 gallon drums in the truck and mixed the AF and water then pumped the solution into the tires.
After filling, one winter/spring day I saw the shadow of the solution via condensation on the tire and I was at about 60% of the height of the tire off the ground.
So, if completely full, I'd say about 85-90 gallons. One could calculate the area and get an idea: Area of the tire cross section x average circumference...measured in the center of the air section of the tire. Take the volume you get from that and divide it by the volume of a gallon of liquid (0.1337 cu ft, or 231 cu in.)
Area of the cross section is: pi (22/7) x [radius (half the diameter of the air section)]squared. If your answer is somewhere around 11.5 cu ft. or 19,500 cu in, you have an 85 gallon full capacity .
So on mine at 50 gallons per tire and water at approx 7#/gallon I picked up 350# per tire.
