I am going to fill my rear tires with some kind of glycol and water. Can some one tell me how much glycol I need for 15 X 19.50 R-4 Tires. I believe it is a 50/50 mix but can't seem to find what that adds up to.

I have also read about RV antifreeze and windshield washer fluid - I like these options as I do have a lot of pets and do not really want the hazard associated with glycol. I only need the 1 to 1 ratio of lbs to water, nothing more then that.

Ideas are welcome, but especially the amount of antifreeze that I need in each tire would be greatly helpful.

I have searched everywhere and found several tire charts but didn't have my size tire listed.

Thanks,

29 gallons per tire is the max. for 75% fill. According to the Rimguard Chart. I used about 27 gallons of RV antifreeze, Non toxic, but not cheap.

I recomment the citrus mix that the dealer put in my L2800, its citrus so it won't hurt animals or enviorment and its non corrosive to the rim
