Why spend the time effort to keep watch over a potential problem then have to deal with it when occurs.
That mentality would get you fired from the aviation or nuclear industry in a few minutes.
The best way to deal with a problem is to just get rid of the situation.
Yes I know it's great being a hero, being smart , skilled and fast enough that calcium chloride doesn't ruin your equipment while others suffer corrosion.
A quick tour through any tractor salvage yard will show almost every rim that had had salt water/calcium chloride in the tires is rotten.
If money is the issue. It's cheap and fast to get a couple of round forms, some quality bolts, some welding rod , re-rod and make concrete wheel weights.
As previously stated a puncture in a dry tire is no big deal compared to a liquid ballast tire.
As for traction? For those still running out dated bias tires and excess ballast. How about reducing equipment stress, wasting fuel hauling extra weight and loosing crop yields due to extra soil compaction.
Using some decent radial tires and less ballast is a hands down winner .
