washer fluid will work and is cheaper and less destructive to the wheel than calcium cloride, any decent auto patrs store [ carquest or napa] has the adapter that screws on the tire valve stem, most say to place the valve stem at 10 or 11 o'clock position and fill, dont use plain water unless it never freezes where you live

I will NEVER do calcium chloride again. I got one rim fixed and still have another to fix. The washer fluid is good to -20, should work as long as I do not leave tractor out overnight on coldest days.

Yea if freezes at -20 at atmospheric pressure. I've used it here in west MN and have had no freeze up problems (maybe shushy???) at -30.

I am in East Central Iowa, will be first winter with washer fluid. I
leave the tractor inside during the winter, and take it out to plow
snow with.

I am useing RimGuard, it is heaver than water or anti-freeze. The nearst dealer is 50+miles away but he sells it to me bulk 275 gal. and I pump it in the tire myself. I use a pto rollar pump, keep the pressure under 25# no trouble so far.

Send me an e-mail and I will in turn send you a page I have from an tractor owners manual that explains 3 or 4 simple ways of putting fluid in your tires. My self I use winter grade wiper fluid. Cost of not all that bad at around $50 for enough to fill a tire your size and it will not cause the rim to rust out if it leaks

When I was farming everything had Calcium chloride in it. More weight then washer fluid and a lot cheaper then Rim Guard. Never had a rim rust out. If you see a leak and you don't fix it right away and wash everything up the rust is your own fault.

Local tire shops here in Ohio mostly quit using rim guard because it is too hard to pump in cold weather.
