As much as I hate to put calcium in my new tractor tires / rims, it seems to be the most economical option (dispite the fact that the old ones were rusted away because of calcium that probably leaked out of the tubes for one reason or another over the years). Beet juice is over $3 per gallon. Anti-freeze is not as dense, and is expensive. A set of wheel weights would be about 500.
So, I am planning to put calcium back in them. The new rims have been blasted and have two coats of epoxy on them. I know epoxy is probably better than anything else available, but how well can I expect it to hold up to calcium chloride?
