I agree. One tire shop repair will pay for the cast today which is why I really don't understand why you or anyone else advocates using beet juice, antifreeze or anything else. CaCl was, and is used because it's cheap and heavy... but I don't buy into the idea that it creates problems with wheels. CaCl also gets used here because most of us do our own tire repairs around here, save the fluid for years and years and years... so it's really a small cost to most of us. Neglect is what causes problems with wheels. I had a tube leak for probably 2-3 years on a loaded tire here that required some repair around the stem hole on the wheel... but that's my own damn fault, not the calcium. For the most part tho, no trouble at all. There are some tractors here that are 40 years old and their tires/wheels have been loaded their entire lives. On certain wheels you also can't add enough cast so you still need fluid... and one thing I do know. If I need fluid, it will be CaCl.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
