You talk about your potential environmental disasters! Whew! Oil in a tractor tire? No, I think I'd pass on that idea.
1. It would take a major effort to pump that much oil in (or out) of a tire.
2. Petroleum products will kill rubber in time.
3. As an example, a relatively small 14.9 X 28 would take over 50 gallons to fill. Assuming you'll do a pair, that's over 100 gallons of oil. Even USED oil, that's a LOT of oil. You'd almost qualify to join OPEC.
4. Once you got a leak, an oily tire and tube would be virtually impossible to patch/plug.
Advantages? Well, your rims wouldn't rust.
Cal/Clor isn't that bad. In all but a very few isolated instances, even with an occasional leak, rim life is usually 40-50-60 years. Windshield washer fluid or rim gaurd is more expensive, but better than a major oil spill. Cast weights have their advantages and a few DISadvantages. Still better IMHO than used motor oil
