Hi Group, Thought I would give you all a heads up on a problem I had with calcium chloride loaded tires. I put tubes in so not to rust my wheels away. Well turns out I was getting some seepage at the valve stem area on one tire. I removed the wheel and tire, looked it over. Something told me to roll this baby outside before I removed the valve cap. Good thing I did. Removed the cap, liquid everywhere and pieces of the valve core. The mixture also ate away the threaded part inside the valve stem. I removed the other wheel, samething. I ended up breaking down one side of the tire, pulling the tubes out, rinsed the inside of the tire and rim really. I installed a tubeless stem in each tire. Went to wally world bought 20 plus of their 1.00 windshield washer fluid. I put 10 gallon in each tire, could have got 11 in but thought I should leave a little room for expansion. I did'nt air the tire until I got the fluid in. Just pushed down the side I had broke down, poured it in. The tire came up tight enough to the rim, I had NO problem airing it up. Only put 6 lbs. in each.
