Dan-IA has an accurate handle on the issue.
Many people fill tires with cacl becasue thier pappy,grand pappy and great grand pappy used cacl.
In those days there wasn't anything else cheap that worked other than salt water made with cacl. May as well mix livestock salt with water and use in tires instead of cacl.
For all those who say cacl doesn't cause damage. Behind sheds and in salavge yards across the world are rims eaten through by cacl. These rims are 1/4 the age of other perfectly fine rims besid ethem that have never seen internal salt ballast.
Valve stems can seap for weeks, months or years before the operator notices the rust spreading from the inside out. Too late for the rim by then.
