etholene gylcol antifreeze is poison to living things. Also, it does not decompose into safe material. It can contaminate wells, ground water, surface water, kill/blind animals (yes your and your children are animals)and expensive. I have calcium cloride water mixture in my JD 2440 tubeless tires and yes there is some rust from leakage after 19 years, but no big problem. If you want to spend the money to demount tires and install tubes, that sound like very good idea. Otherwise, just keep the fluid level above the metal rim. My tire man just had one of my tires off and said rim looked very good inside ( one small rust area - not bad) CC & water mix weights more than water alone - i think it's close to 10 pounds per gallon. that's what you want WEIGHT.
