3. Liquid ballast in rear tires

Water and calcium-chloride solution provides safe,
economical ballast. Using the liquid ballast properly will
prevent tires, tubes, or rims from damaging. The
addition of calcium chloride is recommended to prevent
the water from freezing. The addition of calcium
chloride for weighting the wheels obtains the full
approval of the tire companies. Consult your tire dealer
for addition of calcium chloride.
