Ballast Reference Chart

Tire Fluid Fill Chart by Tire Size

This chart lists approximate gallons per tire and approximate added weight per tire for beet juice, calcium chloride, water, and antifreeze. It is a quick reference for comparing liquid ballast by tire size.

Chart assumptions

Valve stem at 12:00 o'clock
Fill level 75 percent
Weights are approximate
Volume is approximate

Important notes

When you choose to use fluid as ballast, bias-ply tires work best. Consult a tire professional if you are considering fluid ballast in radial, LSW, IF, or VF tires.

The values below are intended as a practical reference. Tire size labels are reproduced from the source chart exactly as shown, including any abbreviations or irregular source formatting.

Showing all 254 tire sizes.

On desktop and tablet screens, each table's column labels remain visible while you scroll through that category. Phone layouts use labeled cards instead.
