The tire guys told me to try the road force balancing beads.
un friggin believable !!!!! I couldn't believe the difference compared to convenient balancing. I have the aluminum rims so they tried the stick on weights not pretty
I must say I am quick believer in the beads

Now to tackle the drive shafts and get them balanced too

 

so what is the difference between the road force beads and the normal weights? Or is there only a difference because you have aluminum rims and conventional weights did not work on them.

 

I have balancing beads in the tubes on my dual sport, they work great in it too. The balancing beads are just like BB's. Tire shop's put a certain amount in each wheel and they move around and balance the tire out while you drive. I almost went that route with the bias ply 36's I'm running on my jeep, but I found a shop that was willing to take the time to balance them. Two of the 36"s have weights halfway around the rim.

here is one of the styles of beads. the beads work different every time depending on the conditions you are driving in
normal lead weights are static, the beads are dynamic to your driving and the tires and road conditions

 

Or you can just go to Wally-world & buy a big can of airsoft pellets for about $16, drop a tall tupperware cup of them into your 33" & below tires & about 1 & 1/2 tall Tupperware cups into anything over 35". Been doing that on my Heep for years with several different sets with zero problems. Rock crawling & off-roading tends to tear out pieces of the lugs & obsticles rip the weights off the rims. I drive my trail rig at 60 on 35" Krawlers with no drama. Sounds crazy, but it works.

 

ahh i see, never knew there was such a thing . you learn something new everyday.

 

We have been running Equal in all our trucks and trailers at work for 10 years and it is way better then spin balancing. Much easier too. Equal is more of a powder then a pellet. We have roughly 1000 truck and trailers, roughly 8400 tires and the wear is unbelievable compared to the owner/ops we see with nothing. 8 bucks a bag for a low pro 22.5 which will do 2 235/85/16s or the equivelent.

 

That's good know. It won't be long and the swampers on my beast won't be balanced any more. Do the air soft bb's make noise at low speed like regular bb's would? Also have you noticed them breaking down over time, or do they hold up well? Thanks.

 

so can you use this in conjunction with weights? or is there no need with say a 265/75/16 tire?

 

Snake oil!!! Tried them out on several differant vehicles and all were removed and balanced with lead weight.

"drive my trail rig at 60 on 35" Krawlers with no drama. Sounds crazy, but it works."

Sure it would work, 35s won't be spinning fast enough to shake till over 60mph

 

I have aluminum rims 16 inchers and 285/75/65 and I did have stick ons and we couldn't get them balanced .we thought the rims were screwed so we put them on the balancer just to check , nope took front drive shaft off still had wobble the king pins are done rotors are not warped tryed 2 different sets of tires and one other set of rims I personaly dont know anyone who has them but i have seen the red caps on numerous trucks which seem to indicate they have the beads.
I am cruising at 120 kilometers and accelerating and decelerating with no wobble
(note) the other rims were steel and way smaller tires so that had something to do with it plus i kept loosing the stickons on the aluminum rims
