I bought a 200x while back and the tore it all down. The front tire is newer, but it is about 80% (guessing here) full of a liquid and it's super heavy. I've read that some people fill tractor tires or atvs for mudding.

Anyone run into this before? Safe to dismount?

Probably just water. Good way to keep it from doing wheelies so easily too. Which is just silly lol....

Farmers and loggers will fill their tires with Calcium to help aid in pulling power/traction. It could be calcium which wont hurt ya.

maybe it was losing air and they filled it with a can of liquid filler!
