If you are planning on passing down the tractor to your kids, you might want to remove the calcium chloride from the tires. Calcium chloride will rot out the rims at some point. The added weight is nice but it comes at a cost. Removing the tires and cleaning the current rust from the rims then protecting them with a fresh coat of paint will mean your kids won't have to deal with it later.
