Hey guys having done this myself on tractors and what not just wondering if anybody has tryed this for offroading obviously the extra weight down low would help with stability etc any though comments appreciated.

Not much help mate but here's my thoughts...
Never done it myself but maybe not a good idea with water not been able to compress when hitting rocks and bumps, etc. I would think rims would pop, etc...
You would get balancing issues too if only half filled.
yeah not to worried about balance as they wont ever be used on road. I think rust would also play a factor as well. I have toyed with the idea i might just give it a go atleast if there is water in there it wont ever go flat lol.
Purely off road then yeah not sure mate...Interesting to find out though...LMAO
Ill give it a shot and let you know what i come up with.
Water intubes would be better. Stops rust. And water rotatinginside wheel will actully self balance under centrifigal forces I believe as does oil in a tailshaft. Yes, definately don't fill beyond 60% with water. You can buy the cheap water filling adaptor that fits the valve stem.
Have the wheel stding up with valve stem at 1 o'clock. Fill till water auto exits valve stem. Then put the valve back in,and fill with air.

I hear ya, But Dingos and Kangas etc move fairly quickly and can have water-filled tyres.Although they are low. But, Slow crawl ing patrols should be ok.Originally Posted by growlers71gq

Yeah any weight as close to the ground is good plus for low range stuff it may help have that extra weight to push the suspension a little further. I am willing to give it a go as I havent really heard much about people doing it for 4wding.
aggree with tim definatly put inner tubes in and will save the rims
