: What is mixed with the water to prevent freezing in tractor tires? I've heard calcium cloride. Is this correct, and what concentration? I mix regular antifreeze with water in my tires. Here in Georgia, we don't have real cold temperatures, so I put in 1 or two gallons per tire depending upon size of the tire. The easiest way I know to get it in the tire is to use a portable 10 gallon air tank. Pour the antifreeze in the air tank, install the hose on the tank, and pressurize with your compressor. Then, turn the tire valve stem to the 12 o'clock position, hold the air tank upside down so the liquid is above the tank outlet, and shoot it in the tire. Next, hook up the garden hose to a valve stem adapter and fill to the top of the rim, not the tire. Then, air up the tire to the proper inflation.
