I asked a guy who runs a few dump trucks and he uses 32oz of windshield washer fluid in each 11R 24.5, steer. I didn’t go this route, though I considered it but rather went with the beads.

I’ve used 8 ounces of brake fluid in each tire for decades. Brake fluid is a rubber preservative and keeps your valve stem soft to seal off. Yeah… I know some will have a rant about it Kinda pisses off a tire guy sometimes during a repair. But when are they NOT going to screw ya anyways? Also works extremely well on off road 4 wheel drive pickups with aggressive mud slingers. Ask anyone how hard it is to keep those wearing evenly.

I think tire life is cheaper than brake fluid. My cost is about $6/16oz
