Liquid Weight per Tire (75% filled)
NOTE
● Avoid using alcohol as weight.
● Calcium chloride solution is heavier.
● A water solution of calcium chloride is a safe
weight.
● The preceding solution prevents freezing and
does not damage the tires, tubes or rims.
● Mix a solution of 3.5 lb. (1.6 kg) of calcium
chloride and approximately 4 qt. (3.8L) of water.
● The solution mentioned in the preceding does
not freeze at a temperature of above -50 °F (-45
°C).
● Fill the tubeless tires at least up to the valve stem
height (at least 75% filled) (A).
● A smaller amount of the solution results in partly
exposed rims:
• can lead to corrosion of the rim
