I was going to suggest lighting some gas on fire in there. With the price of gas these days though It's like liquid gold.

The water in the mounted tire thing doesn't work very well...
I almost rolled my Ranger a couple winters ago, luckily it came back down on all fours though. When it did, it popped the right rear tire clear off the rim.
Tire was undamaged, but when I took it to have it remounted, it was in the back of my truck, I'd forgotten it'd snowed a couple days before and the snow had since melted... Guess they didn't bother with emptying it out first. I took it back and their solution was to balance it with enough weights to fill a gym. After that, they told me I must have torn the radial.
The place I bought it from dismounted it and found a gallon or so of water in it.

I just keep dunking a sponge in them and wringing it out.

Actually it works great for added traction/weight, I have the rear tires on my tractor filled about 3/4 full of calcium cloride solution for ballast. Only downside is it rusts rims badly, even if it is in tubes (like mine), I want to get some cast iron weight to replace it. Of course road gear in the machine tops out at a scalding 15mph so balance isn't an issue.

Lol... In that case yes.
At 65 mph... pretty scary.
I thought the damned truck was going to shake itself into pieces.
