Was a fella asking just a few weeks ago, can he take his tractor rears off, lay flat, and start a fire inside the rim to melt the water in his tires, he parked the tractor with water in, forgot, and now needed to use the tractor....
So unless you are in Hawaii or tip of Florida, I don't think just water works well.
I really dislike the antifreeze solutions so many try to use. Real antifreeze is toxic to animals and wells when it leaks, the RV type is spendy enough, and in a northern climate you need a lot to work. More so tho, antifreeze is lighter than water, if I need weight I want heavier than water....
The beet solution is good if you can afford it, find it.
I've used calcium chloride for decades, it adds real weight and works fine if you use your tractor and maintain it.
Calcium chloride needs oxygen to make the rust, so it actually works in a tubeless rim, but in general folks use a tube most all the time, it is easier to get back out from a tube.
