: IH wheel weights are sooo cheap ($10-$25 per 150#), why would you consider anything else? Especially if flats are likely. 3 or 4 pair will give you the traction you need and never compromise the tire. Cost less too. And the tire/rim will stay light enough for you to handle and get to the tire store for repair. Next time you have a flat, put a boot between the tire and tube. This will give you added protection from the thorns.

At Tucker Tire 800 443 0802 we have customers that make their own flat protection by making a mixture of antifreeze and shredded newspapers,putting the mixture in tubeless tires for thorn protection. Also Jr has some Stomil tires that come in extra heavy ply that give more protection from penetration by thorns. Jim
