I can't believe the number of folks who don't even seem to read the OP but jump in with a comment from out in left field.
In this thread, the OP said he found about a CUP of water in a FRONT tire on a riding lawn mower.
Does anyone really think 8 oz. (both in volume and weight) would add any traction, let alone it was in an un driven wheel?
Sorry for the rant, but I've seen time & again folks looking for help or advice and the thread just goes so far off on a tangent the OP just gives up and is never seen again.
When I would put water in my tires I would get as much in a possible. And yes, this was in a un driven wheel.
Why? Counter balance. Some implements on tractors are VERY heavy or carry a bunch of weight. In my case it was a forklift or 3 pt hitch crane.
Yes, that few gallons of water all the way up front made a BIG difference on how the tractor steered and handled.
Compressors don't have the discharge on the bottom of the tank for a reason. Yes, you can get some moisture out of the line of a compressor but in about a zillion tires I have mounted and dismounted I have never found more than a tea spoon or so in them unless it was intentionally put there.
