What is the preferred media to add to the rear tires?

If you are in area where it never freezes water will work. The preferred fluid in colder climates in Rim Guard which also weighs more than water.

Some people also use RV Antifreeze or windshield washer fluid.

Rim Guard is best, but nobody around here has it, so I got some kind of alcohol/water mix. Works fine.

Boy this is a loaded question...... Are you concerned about cost per pound of weight gained???? Or are you concerned with the most weight gained with a certain amount of fluid. Or are you concerned about corrosion?? Or are you concerned about environmental friendly fluid??

See how confusing this gets.
