Very newbie here.
Are wheel weight sets specified per tire or both sides total weight? For example, if I get a 50 lb wheel weight set, is that two 25 lb weights or two 50 lb weights?
I am asking because I am considering weighting the tires with calcium chloride and water solution, and the chart in the sticky posting says that adds about 50 lbs. per tire.
BTW, I just asked a farmer who grows organic crops about water weighting in his ag tires.
- Fills it 80% with liquid, not 100% and pressurizes it with air to give some spring and suspension.
- Uses calcium chloride as antifreeze rather than propylene or ethylene glycol because if the tire is cut, he does not want that in his crops.
- Uses tubes because the calcium chloride corrodes the rims.
thanks,
