Had to put a plug in my tire today

I wish we could have airless tires. I recently lost a good tire because of a nail. They say they are working on airless technology they say it’s really hard to do.

Even if they are telling the truth even when they do come out they’re gonna be really expensive.

This is of course for regular cars and trucks I’m talking about I know we have airless tires and other things

I had to patch an inner tube on my tractor today and it was filled with 80 gallons of Calcium Chloride

We used calcium chloride to add weight for better traction

Calcium chloride has historically been a go-to choice for several reasons. When mixed with water, the solution can withstand temperatures down to -50°F or -60°F. It’s also inexpensive and weighs about 40 percent more than straight water.

@HumanEarth too bad they don’t make inner tubes for cars anymore.

They still do, you can still buy them

You can get them at Napa, O'Reilly's, Car Quest, Auto Zone and even Walmart has them on the self in the tire section

@HumanEarth I looked it up. And yes it seems so. But not in store in my area it seems. But online appears to have it. But it will be some work to get it in there. And I’m not positive it will work. The rims are designed for tubeless valve stem. I may look into it more. One person said that they did do it in the reviews online. But the new tire stores wouldn’t do it he had to go to a used tire store place to have it done. I would rather do it myself.

I change my own tires myself. From automobile to farm

@HumanEarth I know you can do it. It’s hard without a tire machine.

Tire spoons and some boards for automobile

For farm add sledge hammers

Its not that hard

@HumanEarth I know me and another guy broke the tires off the rims by using a jack and the weight of the car.

That's one way that works to
