A few years ago, one of my MF-135 rear tires split the sidewall a little, then pinched the tube and squirted CaCL over me and the tractor. The tractor rusted instantly even though painted. My jeans stood up by them selves that evening.
I swore off CaCl in tires at that point. Put on new tires and they pulled the plow and disk better by having sharp corners on the lugs than the old tires did. I'm not putting liquid in my tractor tires again.
The CaCl is the lowest cost option, but the hardest on the tractor. If you think they will never freeze, water will do. Antifreeze or windshield wiper solution doesn't to the rot that CaCl does. Typically a tire is considered "full" if the liquid is up to the top of the rim. Needs the rest as air to have some cushion.
There is also a product called "Rim Guard" made in Michigan from beet juice. Sit down before you ask the price.
