Rear wheels on a C

I bought a C I'm restoring and I'm down to the wheels. One rear rim (tire is 11.2/36) is chewed up from, I imagine, calcium chloride. Found a fella to do a section replacement on rim and will probably replace tire but don't know if tire should be reloaded and with what. I have a blade on the front for snow. Suggestions?

My self I prefer fluid in the tires over the weights. I use wiper fluid in my tires now instead of the CACL which eats rims. Chains are a must if you use a back blade, but if you have a blade up front you can get by with out the chains

Old, you may not need chains to push snow down there in southern Missouri, or maybe you just don't mind getting stuck, but up here where it actually snows, chains are a necessity.

Well not with the set up I have. But its also mounted up front on my loader. The big V plow I have does a good job in snow up to 2 foot deep or deeper. Can't say for sure how deep it would work since the deepest I have ever had to do was 2 foot and I didn't need chains. Now this ice we have been getting yes I have to use chains and once on the tractor for the winter they stay on till spring. Oh by the way years ago I did live up that way. I lived in a little town call Leigh Neb. But that was alos around 40 years ago when snow did fall more then it has been now days

Old, up here, if the snow is heavy enough for the county to need the V-plows on the road graders, tire chains will be installed on all four drivers. The chains not only serve to improve forward traction, but also to greatly reduce the possibility of those big machines sliding sideways and off into the ditch where they could upset.

While it is true that adding liquid ballast to the rear tires is probably the most efficient way to do it, for your purposes I think a pair or two of cast iron wheel weights and a set of tire chains will accomplish what you want. The chains can be easily removed when not needed, and you can even remove the wheel weights fairly easily. Liquid ballast is pretty much permanent, I think you would be better off without it.

Thanks Rusty & Old for the info. I have a problem with the chains because my wife wanted new cement to replace our blacktop so I'm thinking chains could chew the new crete up.

The tire chains will leave some scratches on the concrete but will be barely noticeable. The chains will not "chew up" the concrete.
