TIRES, WHEELS AND BALLAST
BLiquid Ballast in Rear Tires
Water and calcium chloride solution provides safe
economical ballast. Used properly, it will not damage tires,
tubes or rims. The addition of calcium chloride is
recommended to prevent the water from freezing. Use of
this method of weighting the wheels has the full approval
of the tire companies. See your tire dealer for this service.
