(Do they still make the old Goodyear "Metro Miler" city bus tires

all their equipment, including the "Freeway Express" buses bombing
along at 70 in traffic with a full load...)


Not that I'm aware of.


Oh, and another reason to collect and reuse the filling solution and
not to 'just dump it' is the environmental damage it would cause -
Calcium Chloride in concentrations like that is not going to be good
for the flower beds next to your driveway, and the City/County/State
is going to object to it going into a stream or dumped in the sewers
so the local sewer treatment plant has to deal with it.

And SWMBO is NOT going to be amused when you create a huge dead zone
where not even weeds grow in the yard. And she will be positively
livid when you have to dig out the top foot of soil and pay a fortune
to cart it off to a Hazmat dump site, and then pay even more to truck
in fresh topsoil.

That concentration shooting out of valve stem will etch automobile
paint.

You want to see what happens when a fluid filled tire starts emptying
itself while going down the road at 30MPH plus, and it hits the
insulators on a transformer pole!!!!!
Great big firecracker about 30 feet up!!
