Per tire, I dont know when I might get the 2601 but I know my wheel weights off the BX wont fit so I will fill the tires with wind shield fluid or anti freeze,, beet juice I was told is 80 bucks a gallon a little out of my price range. SO any one know where the chart is that use to be in here? Or another one so I can at least get an idea for the R4s

That 80 bucks might have been per tire...... so 160 for both. Double check what you were quoted for the fill.

My tire guy (Speck Tire, Bowling Green, Ohio) told me when he changed out my rears last spring, they only like to use windshield washer fluid because beet juice gums up the vacuum pump if they have to pump it out (in case of a leak / flat.) I don't use any fill, never have. Both mine have full cast centers so plenty of weight without.

Windshield fluid is maybe a lot cheaper than beet juice no doubt, just water and alcohol. I dont know what wheel weights would cost but Im sure they aint cheap either

The beet juice won't cost what was quoted to you, or at least shouldn't. My dealer had a tire company come and fill the B2650 before I picked it up, but mentioned he hated the stuff. Didn't get why at the time, since I'd not had any problem with the filled tires on the L3560, but no doubt it is a pain to deal with if you want to adjust pressure in tires. It stickies everything up no matter what you do. Not sure what the down side to washer fluid is.

Only down side is that it is lighter than beet juice - 7.6 p/g for WWF and 11 p/g for beet juice.

I have WWF in the rears of my BX25D and one of my B7100 - even with those smallish tires - make a difference you can "feel" ........... 'specially when you take a tire/rim off! :p

you were either quoted the per tire price or they dont want to use beet juice. my l3901 was supposed to be 250 to load with rim guard but i got them to throw it in for free
