I do the break the bead and dump. Lot faster, you can dump the gallon in about as fast as it comes out of the bottles. 

First time I did RV antifreeze going to do winter windshield washer fluid the next tires I am filling.

I never figured I could get bead to seat back if I ever tried that. It doesn't take long at all with the little transfer pump, maybe 3omin per....

When I dumped it in the bead, I bead sealed the back bead, aired it up, broke the front side down, filled, dried, bead sealed, and aired up to bead it again.  Signed, sealed, delivered.  All the music today!

I got a new digital air gauge and filler upper combo deal.  Putting the accessories away, I found what looks like a fluid putter inner!

Finally got around to weighing wheels/tires after adding the RV antifreeze, wish I would have remembered to weigh them before adding :angry-banghead:. Figured it added at least 45/50 # to each side maybe a little more than that.

At 6.5 gals per tire and usually around 8.5 to 9 lbs per gallon you'll have an additional 55 to 58 lbs per tire.

:handgestures-thumbupright:yup your probably right I was figuring weight of water, but the antifreeze is a little heavier.
