That would real KILL your torque ! Plus the weight would be hard on the driveline when trying to turn.
You ever try to pick a tire and wheel up when loaded ? Thy are Very Heavy !! -
You would also be much less amphibious with loaded tires

filled with something to make them much heavier. on tractors it increases traction. usually a liquid that wont freeze is used like windshield washer fluid. dirt, gravel and dry concrete mix also work.Originally posted by Kris W View PostA well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.Comment

The big tractors use chloride in the tires to add weight, for pulling purposes only.
Keep in mind these large tractors move an average of 25mph tops, with a transmission that's the bigger than the cab, and a differiential the size of an excersise ball.
It's only added to make you heavy enough to handle the 50ft inplement and drag a plow 1ft under the ground. So by chloriding the tires you'd gain pulling power on dry ground and sink like a rock in any sort of slop.sigpicComment

Any tractor that we use for loader work has to have "loaded" tires because the bucket can easily lift enough to get the empty rear tires up into the air. It's scary and only front wheel traction. Have tried big heavy balance weights but they tend to get in the way plowing snow and don't work as well. our local tire loaders call it calcium. Heavier than water or ww juice and won't freeze.
