Does anyone have any knowledge regarding the long term effect that antifreeze may have on tractor tire tubes? Radiator and heater hoses are OK with it but may made out of different material than tubes. I'm told there are basically two types of tubes. Synthetic rubber or natural rubber, and the synthetic tubes cost much less, but I don't want to be replacing tubes in a few years, no matter what they are made of.
I put some antifreeze in a set of tires many years ago, but sold the tractor shortly after. The buyer has since put new tires and tubes on it. He said there didn't appear to be anything wrong with the old tubes, but he put new ones in and tossed the old ones.
I'm will soon be putting a new set of tires on another tractor and like the idea of antifreeze rather than calcium chloride. Antifreeze is a bit lighter than calcium but it doesn't attack the rims, and I can get a lot of used antifreeze for just taking it away.
I'm hoping someone may be able to shed a little light on the subject.
