so how would you fill a tube and fill the tire with air  i think maybe rv antifreeze would work it heavy and cheap and it does have a pretty good freeze resistance and then also washer fluid would work to so whatever you do will probaly work out

Both work well. I use a product called Rimguard because I have good inexpensive local access to it. 

 

@pullstart has a video on YouTube about how he fills tires.

Update 11/16/2021:

 

I've been doing some local market research around southern Maine to get current pricing on having a dealer fill vs DIY. 

 

RV antifreeze is available for home delivery around $3.50/gallon. Weight 7.6 +/- 

 

Rimguard is available for $3./ Gallon. Must be picked up in customer supplied containers. Weight 10.5-11. 

 

All 4 shops I spoke to have gone up in labor rate as you'd expect. 

 

IMHO:

Best bet for maximum weight and money savings is certainly to buy some 5 gallon (?) buckets and purchase the Rimguard then self install.
