I'm wondering how your conclusions came to be? Calcium Chloride salt can be used as a highly corrosive brine antifreeze solution. I can't imagine why one would so closely court rim corrosion and ruined paint when other antifreeze compounds are so readily available. And cost so reasonable now and in future service costs. The chart with points A through E is a proven common sense list of methods to avoid undesired incidents. It's undeniable that the best way to avoid rim corrosion & paint damage from calcium chloride . Is to avoid using calcium chloride. The only reason the crap is used todays is because it's what Pappy, Grand Pappy and Great Grand Pappy used. So "I" should use it too. As for "However the oxygen content of the CaCl solution is lower than that of the air that will be in the tire. Therefore the steel rim and valve stem will corrode much more slowly when fully submerged in the solution". What free oxygen there is in the calcium chloride salt/water solution. And what free oxygen in the airspace will both support fast corrosion for a few minutes or hours at most. Once the oxygen has been used making ferrous oxide, it's tightly held and is not available to support further corrosion. So with the exception of new oxygen when the loaded tires are aired up. And tiny amounts of oxygen creeping in around or through the bead. Corrosion stops inside the perfect tubeless rim in hours. I do know of a set rims that pinhole leaked with tubeless tires and salt ballast at 9 years. The rims had to be blasted clean & painted. Then tubes installed.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
