The tire would be fine with just air added, but it's a matter of safety. If only one tire is full, it can cause huge problems with stability on slopes, and even on the road. Either both tires gotta have it or none. I'd rather have fluid in my tires if I'm working on any kind of slope or doing any heavy pulling. You can call up your local ag tire dealer and they can refill it if it's too late and you let the stuff run on the ground. Like the other guys say, it was probably Calcium Chloride so it wouldn't freeze in the winter. Can be nasty stuff to the rims, so rinse it off. As long as the valve stem is good and the tube doesn't have a leak (you should notice any leaks) the rim will be absolutely fine, no ands ifs or buts. To replace the valve stem if the fluid is still in there, just put the valve stem on top and be quick about it, have the new one ready to go back in. The tire should have fluid up to the top of the rim, but no more. There has to be some room for air. Also, when putting air back in the tire, unless you guage can read below 20 PSI and says it can be used for fluid filled tires, just go by look. You'll ruin your guage otherwise and the rear tires generally only hold a few PSI (10-15) of air. Donovan from Wisconsin
