That's what I was thinking---The correct amount of water for each tire is 22 gal. Although I knew the freeze point would not be lowered by adding 2 gal. of antifreeze, and that freezing is not a concern, I figured there would be some corrosion protection with this weak mixture.
Having the water covering the top of rim makes sense.
In my particular situation, I just can't justify $200-$300 cost for installing tubes or having the tires loaded.
Also--I have more then enough water saved from my de-humidifiers to fill both tires. I save the water for house plants and for adding to cooling system of vehicles. I just figured this water would be purer then tap water.
