[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 579340, member: 483"] I don't know for sure but it would seem to me that it's not like the stress of actually having a heavier tire. Since the water just sloshes around in there and would seemingly not resist torque I would think that having 100 lbs of water would be less stressful to the drivetrain than having 100 lbs of extra tire in the same diameter. For instance, I think the engine could just as easily spin the tire with water in it (except for the added traction) but would still be more weight to carry up a hill. Just having a heavier tire would make it more difficult for the engine to spin since (in addition to the added traction) as well as more weight to carry up the hill. I'm not an engineer so maybe I'm wrong. [/QUOTE]
