GENERAL FARM TIRE INFORMATION V. HYDROINFLATION

When removing fluid from tubeless tires, be careful not to unseat beads until most of fluid has been pumped from the tire. Consult your tire supplier for information on hydro-inflation equipment such as pumps, compressors, air-water conversion hardware parts, etc. Tire rotated so valve is at bottom with hydro-inflation fluid being removed. NOTES: Tables are based on using type 1 calcium chloride (77% CaCl2). If type 2 concentrated calcium chloride (94% CaCl2) is used, reduce specified “Lbs. CaCl2” in tables by 25%. Values shown in tables are approximate and represent 75% fill or “valve level” fill (with valve at top of tire) which is recommended practice. Antifreeze protection levels are shown at top of each table for different solutions. For rear tires mounted on narrower rims, decrease quantities at the rate of 4% for each 1-inch reduction in rim width. For wider rims, increase quantities by 4% for each 1-inch increase in rim width.

Anti-freeze could be a good solution in the right area. It would get quite expensive here or at your place in VT. I realize you wouldn't need it quite as strong as for a cooling system, but I think you would have to go at least 35% anti-freeze.

I put about 2.5 gallons of antifreeze per tire in mine and the rest water and have no problems and dont have to worry about the calcium eating my rims up. If you are in a very cold climate you may have to put more in. Have never used the calcium in mine. Maybe someone else can give you the ratio to put in.
