It is a way of adding weight. It used to b e very corrosive. You could tell if a tractor had calcium in the tires as usually there was rust around the valve stem.
calcium chloride is just weight.. tractors use it all the time if there bailers or rippers and such are way tounge heavy to keep steer tires down.... i don't know how it would work in a pulling truck due to speeds tires reach alot of rotational mass
