Hi, KY. You are probably looking at around 60 gallons per tyre approx., at 1 # per gallon. Ball park figure: 1,200 #. It is worth bearing in mind that you will be unlikely to get the same traction out of even the equivalent weight in wheel weights because you need to inflate the tyres to a higher pressure with wheel weights than you do with tyre filler. This means that the tyre will not have as big a 'footprint' at the higher pressure with the weights. One of the big 'plusses' of being here in Australia with our milder climate is that you mostly don't need cal-chlor or other corrosives in water filled tyres so you can run tubeless tyres filled with plain water with a bit of corrosion inhibitor and repair any punctures with tubeless repair kits. I am not an expert on such matters but I'd be surprised if there wasn't a combination ani-freeze/corrosion inhibitor that you could add to plain water filled tyres even in your climate and go the same way. Just a thought. You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
