Use calcium cloride for balast instead of water/antifreeze. Probably cheaper anyways. If you run tubeless you want them filled to just over the rim (prevents corrosion), with a tube you can fill them at any level up to just over the rim. With radials you may not be able to load them up as much?? Ask a tire dealer. There is little corrosion if done right and you wash any liquid off the rim whenever you check the air in the tires(you also must use pressure guage made for calcium filled tires).
The liquid doesn't hurt the tire and rides just as good, maybe even a little better since they are more stable(less side to side sway when carrying large 3 pt equipment).
If you are against calcium I would look into adding cast weights.
