Windshield wiper fluid is a good bit cheaper and Orchenlens some times has it on sale plus if your over 50 they give a 5% discount on Wednesdays and if form Military they give a 5% discount on Tuesdays. I got some not long ago for $1.39 per gal

The wiper fluid works just as well?

Before you put that stuff into your tire put a jug into your freezer and see if it freezes. Even if it only becomes slushy it can damage the tire as the ice is gong to act like an abrasive. I am also concerned because it may contain ethanol and water which will separate in the summer leaving a vapor and water.

Would used glychol (spelling?) antifreeze work? Most retailers and service centers are required to accept used antifreeze from consumers at no-charge. It is collected and sold to recyclers.

If you offer to pay 2 to 4 times what the recycler pays you might get all the used antifreeze you need pretty cheaply.

Might as well just use calcium chloride as the pink stuff will make your rims rust just as fast

Yes winter grade works just as good as RV anti freeze and costs a heck of a lot less. Been using it for years now

It's not as heavy as calcium , besides your filling the tubes ,not the tires so how can it rot the rims unless you get a flat . My wd45 has calcium for 5 years now because I pull her, and no problem with the rims , but the down fall is that she wobbles a little when I parade at high speed ( a little scary )

Try your local wrecking yard, they save and sell anti freeze, and most sell it cheap.
