I am pretty sure my Kubota tires are load with calcium chloride. Put some metal into the solution then air dried and rusty...
What I don't understand is I have found Goodyear websites stating calcium chloride is perfectly safe for ballast and will not corrode your rims. It also said to make sure the tire is filled nearly full of fluid. Could it be that without the presence of oxygen the corrosion doesn't occur? I would be very interested to hear from someone with years of knowledge at changing and loading tires.
