But wont be as soft as a tire with just air. the water helps hold the tire from buckling, and yes, any tire can buckle in the center, older tires dont so easily as newer ones, a bit stiffer, and thats why pullers seek them out so much. I belive if you know how to set up a new tire so it does not bend the bars back so much, it would work on about any surface, loose tracks will dig, but if you had the liquid in em, and drive it and not just go out an run wide open, it will hook up easire than one with wheel weights. Ive often thought of filling my cut tires bout 1/2 way up and try it, My 15.5's on a 16 inch rim, can buckle the centers at 13 psi, at 14 psi they dig the track too hard and well, hello China!! Tire pressure is relitive to track conditions, harder tracks, Ill run 12-13psi, and on looser tracks, 13.5-14 and run a set of wheel weights to help bite the ground, but, it usually bites me,, and mess up the balace of the frame, if I can get the tires to hook, and leave the weights for balance purposes only, Id have it made, only thing I can think of to do that is to add some liquid weight to the wheels so it will have a heavier footprint, and not affect the side wall of the tire so much from overweighting the axle. I do belivethat water will make the tire harder inbetween the tire casing, and the rim, air, can move to the top of the tire, and ballon it sightly, where water holds in place cause gravity holds it there, and can take more pressure in the cases where it can buckle,,, ChadS
