I just picked up a set of trail ready bead lock wheels there 15x8 and im running the new goodyear mud terrain w/ kevlar side walls 31x10.5 i had a question about balancing these because there a bit ruff on the hi way up past 60mph ive herd of people using dyna beads, bb's, air soft bb's, and even golf balls. i have a bag of steel bb's laying around and im not sure how much to put in, ive herd its better to have not enough then too much. Also when you put them into your tires do u package them in a bag or can you just put them by them selfs inside the tire? just thought id get some advice on this before i started filling my tires up with steel. if anyone could shine some light on this that would be awesome i wanna nip this in the butt before it starts un-evenly wearing my tires, thanks.

 

Personally I never bother. It's not going to get worse or better. It's a trail truck. If you want a street ride get another set of on road wheels and tires and save those for the trail.

:wabbit2:

 

yea ur right but i do drive to the trail and sometimes it could be 2 or 3 hrs depending on were the trail is and i would like to get over 60mph keep up with traffic and not have my truck shaking and the thing i absolutely hate is the 4runners have those plastic little cubby holes in the back and they rattle like crazy i have to drowned it out with music

 

I hear of guys having good luck with soft air bbs

 

yea i herd that as well but im not sure how much to use and i would like to use steel bb's just because i have some laying around

I wouldn't use metal bb's with moisture getting in the tires.. over time they will probably rust up in clumps.

 

The metal ones will degrade over time. Not smart to use them.
Quit being cheap and buy some dyna beads.

 

Seems like good results for those who have actually tried it

I have been using AirSoft BB's for four years. all you need to do is fallow the chart on this link.

P.S., I will never go back to traditional tire weights.

 

yea, sweet thats what i was looking 4 ok so according to the chart 31x10.5x15 is 6oz and ill use the air soft bb's those are cheap and i can pick those up almost anywere oh and one more thing i just way them and throw them in right? i dont put them in anything? i just wanna make sure im not missing anything because im gonna do it my next day off

 

since you brought up the subject..

What about using Ceramic beads from bead blasting media?
I wonder if this is what Dynabeads really are..

 

hmmm good ? im not sure im deffinatly gonna try the airsoft because ive herd of them working for allot of people i just wasnt sure how much to use. ive also herd of people useing golf balls

 

another one thats really cool is the centramatic wheel balancers but unfortunatly they dont fit toyotas because the calipers are too big at least that what they told me when i tryed to purchase them... that was gonna be my first choice

 

I just wanted to use the ceramic beads so I could pour them down the stem, instead of breaking the bead

 

yea that would be nice but ive already come to terms with the fact that im gonna have to break the bead
