I used bb's in my 40" swampers on my old 4x4.

I put 20 oz in each tire. they rode just like my car once you got to speed.

Just sounded funny when you stopped cuz you could hear the bb's hitting the steel rims.

Finally took the time to install these beads. I agree completely with the poster that mentioned the headache of putting them in through the valve stems. Took me the better part of an afternoon. The first two were very bad but by the time I got to the third one I figured out a technique to keep the beads from clumping in the tubing and valve stem. Recommend taking the tire/wheel off the truck to get better flow of beads.

The "smoke test" went fine. Vibration is completely gone at 70 mph. A huge improvement. I did leave the lead weights on as suggested in the directions that came with the beads

You will not hear the Dynabeads, they are very small. I'm really liking the results

I vaguely remember hearing the beads, when I had them, when the wheels start turning. Maybe not?
I do hear the Centarmatic sometimes, up to maybe 5 mph... but that just let's me know all is working!

I have dyna beads in all my vehicles and can't hear them even in the quiet gassers.

To the fellow using b-bs.
Seems like they would wear things out creating a fine dust that wouldn't move around thus throwing your tires out of balance.
That's the advantage of the Dynabeads over others, they are ceramic and don't wear down.
