Nah. If I was going to put booze in a tire, it would be the cheapest rot-gut possible, because it would be tough to tell right from the bottle whether it tasted like poor whiskey or tire tube. If Johnny was going to the field with me, he would go in a hip pocket.

I just replaced a rim on a tractor that had new tires and rims put on about 3 years ago. Seems the valve stem got fractured within it's rubber boot (off the tube) shortly after mounting making for a very slow leak on a tractor that wasn't used much, and the calcium scaled up and ate a softball size hole around the stem.

Calcium Chloride is not just bad on steel parts, but kills vegetation. Wiper fluid is a methanol mixture, and used anti-freeze is ethylene glycol (and a slew of additives), both of which are also substantially environmentally toxic. Beet juice is about as environmentally friendly as it could possibly get.
