DYNABEADS write up
I have some 33 mt's with quite a bit of wear.They are slightly cupped and are worn unevenly across the tread needless to say there was quite a bit of vibration. The best fix is new tire but with todays economy I just didnt feel comfortable dropping 700+ on a new set yet. I checked out INNOVATIVEBALANCING They offer "dynabeads" for many applications including aggressive tread offroad tires. There is a interesting video of a coke bottle attached to a drill with some weight attached to one side of the bottle . There site has a tire chart with the appropriate amount of beads for your tire listed. I purchased 8oz per 33 for about $50. My tires had about 3oz-4oz of wheel weights on them. I removed all the weights and installed the beads per their instructions. I placed one wheel on the roadforce balancer at work and to my suprise a big red zero was displayed on the screen
.
Roadtest:
leaving from a stop I have a little shimmy and shake but once moving the beads take over and it all goes away!! I ran highway speeds 55-70mph and it was super smooth. I tired city speeds 25-40 and had the same result. I am very happy with them as now I can get another 10k or so out of tires that were shaking my runner apart.
Sorry no pictures I wasnt really thinking about a write up until I was impressed by them.

i am running air soft BB's in my 36" bias TSL swampers and they work great ! I couldnt even drive over 25mph when i first got em on my rig. Now i can do 80mph no problem and its as smooth as a swamper could be.
BTW the tire shop told me that they would gladly balance my tires for around 100 dollars and woudl not gaurantee the results, they also mentioned if i aired down and my wheel slipped in my tire it would change my balacing properties therefore unbalancing my tire.
So the beads are the way to go for wheelers that air down IMO

I heard about airsoft bb's as well but my concern with them is they are much larger then dynabeads,plus they are plastic which will eventually wear down or brake apart. I feel like the distribution would be not nearly as percise causing the tires to not balance as well,granted this might be very minimal but maybe enough to cause vibration.
I am all about saving money but the real deal sealed to be the best choice
