Any time I mixed CaCl I put about 2 bags to the drum of water. Seems to me that those tires will take about 1 drum to fill to the stem... so yeah, 2 bags should do it.
Personally I think I'm at the point where I prefer wheel weights of some sort rather than liquid ballast because I've had a lot of tube problems in loaded radial tires.... but for anything that I still have a bias tire on, it's laoded with CaCl. As tire_guy noted... CaCl will only rot your wheels if you leave a leaker unattended for a long time. There's wheels around here that have been loaded for close to 40 years and there's more surface rust from the weather than there is rust from the juice. FIX THE LEAKERS. I really can't see paying big money for beet juice, antifreeze, wiper fluid or whatever concoctions are out there just to add weight. If you want to spend money, BUY CAST. At least if you spend your money on cast, then you have a tire that's easier to change in the future, saving you money on tire service calls.... or making your own life a lot easier if you change them yourself.
