Just out of curiosity, why do they put fluid in a tire? Is it an anti-
leak additive?


Weight/traction. As Ecnerwal said, sometimes there CaCl2 in there for
freeze protection. But that stuff is dirt cheap. It's less trouble to
just dump it, and make more. (and it's easier to put the dry crystals in
the tire when mounting it, than to try and mix the fluid and pump it in.)
