Use Calcium Chloride in tires for ballast, there are 2 solutions, solution "A" freezes at -12F. solution "B" freezes at -53f. for example 14.00-32 tires with solution "B" have 72.9 gal. capacity,with total wt. of 740 lbs ea. (62.4 gal of water,218.7 lbs of calcium chloride). There is a whole page of tables for this stuff with every size of tire in the 1962 tractor Red Book.DDG
