tgranthamfd 29 #2 Posted October 7, 2009 Have you thought about this type? http://www.tracweight.com/ I was wondering if they would be any good, myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,033 #3 Posted October 7, 2009 Some guys use Rim guard to fill the tires it's beat juice, I like bolt on weights so you can remove if you want, but each to there own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coadster32 793 #4 Posted October 7, 2009 Yes the cement weights work well, and are cost effective. They do however stick out past the rims, especially the really heavy ones. I couldn't use them because I plow right next to a fence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy w h 5 #5 Posted October 7, 2009 I prefer bolt on weights. I think there user friendly. Just my 2 cents Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheel horse 1045 2 #6 Posted October 7, 2009 i have used all of them and in my oppinion it comes down to preference because they work the same,now the plastic did crack after a few years but were the cheapest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
876wheelhorse 46 #7 Posted October 7, 2009 so how do you fill tires up with liquid then. do you somehow pour into valve stem?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 179 #8 Posted October 7, 2009 Break the bead on one side and pour it between the tire and rim (lay it flat on the floor) until you can't pour any more in. That gives you about 80-85% fill. I filled the tires on my D-160 with used anti freeze that I got free from the local Jiffy Lube using that method and they weighed about 115 pounds each.

Indy w h 5 #9 Posted October 7, 2009 There is a device that goes on ur valve stem that let's u fill ur tires w/fluid. My buddy has 1 I'll ask him if I can take a pic of it and post it. We use windshield washer fluid in r tires it's pretty cheap. They weigh about 100 lb Indy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sorekiwi 761 #10 Posted October 7, 2009 I filled he tubes in a set of rear wheels with a funnel and a length of clear plastic tubing. (remove the valve first!!). I stood the wheel upright with the valve at the highest point, and every now and then would "burp" the tire by pushing down on it. I think I got about 8 gallons in each rear tire (55lbs added). I used windshield washer fluid, its a little more enviromentally friendly, and if I spring a leak it'll probably just get the dog drunk instead of dead... TSC apparently sells some sort of filling valve you can use too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
