Until you get the side effects, liquid, generally calcium chloride is the cheapest weight. When a tire leaks, the resulting pile of rust costs a whole lot more to recover than you saved. There is no if, just when and when there is a leak, there is instant rust, through the paint. There are alternatives to CaCl that weigh a bit less, such as windshield spray, or one out of Michigan based on beet juice but that beet juice is expensive and I've not found many places carrying it. I used to have CaCl in my MF-135, then a tire side wall cracked and pinched the tube. The tractor rusted instantly because it was an inside sidewall and I was running down the road. The new tires having tread pulled better without liquid than the old ones did with and I'm never putting CaCl in a tractor of mine again. Gerald J.
