How much fluid will it take to fill tires on B2650?

[4x4farmer]

I'm going to fill my tires on my B2650 with winter washerfluid. Has anyone done this and know about how much it will take? They are the industrial tires rear 12.4x16 and fronts 23x8.5-14s. This seems to be what a lot of guys are doing. Not sure what the weight ratio is compared to other products such as rimguard or calcium chloride. Im going to be doing a lot of work in my trees this summer with a 5ft 3pt disc and 6ft 3pt cultivator. Not sure yet if traction would be a issue or not but I guess I figured I would just add the fluid before I even start just to be safe. Will always help in the winter for traction as well. Was just kinda curious as to how many cases of washerfluid I should pickup. I picked up the hose to valve stem fitting at tsc already.

Perhaps this link will help with the volume and weight. I'm certain others are out there.

This link to Titan tire will give you the volume fill and more information about tires than most people would care to read. (see slide 28 of 34 for 12.4x16 fill).

Thanks for the info. I filled them up last night. The chart on the one link said about 21 gal in each tire to get them to the 75% level. I only bought enough to do that amount in each tire so that's where I stopped at and I still had air at the 12 o'clock position must they must be close to full. I used a 15 gal garbage can and a sump pump to pump it into the tires. Bought the hose to valve stem adapter at TSC. I stopped the pump about every 5 gallons and bleed the air out. It went really well. Wish I had taken some pictures or video but I forgot to.
