does anybody know a way or a place that can effectively balance my 35's. i cant use sticky;s since im running the wj brakes and the only thing i get it a mashed finger when attempting to beat a weight onto the lip of the rim(raised sidewall) please help me
 
bbs or antifreeze.
 
Airsoft BB's.... It varies by the tire, Imo start with 2 oz per tire, and increase by .5 oz until it drives right, its a pain and fairly time consuming, but it beats dealing with most tire shops.

Dynabeads says use 8 oz per tire... you could start there too, but you have to break down the bead each time to add/remove the bb's.
 
Never used equal, but it will stick to plugs/patches if you ever have any done, the airsoft bbs wont
 
I think if you buy the right ones you can add them thru the valve stem with the core remove instead of breaking down your tire every time. As far as how it works, its basically centrifical force. As the tire begins to turn the bbs roll around. They will go to the area that needs the weight. So basically they rebalance themselves every time you start off
 
Soft beads was suggested to me, too, so for my new 33s, I went to Walmart. Found a box with 4 10oz. packs inside, for about $12. Decided to start with 8oz,& used postage scale @ work. Balance is almost perfect, best its ever been. Just don't know how U know if U have too little, or too much. Guess U have to start out light, & build up. Only deal about using the same amount , I've never had lug tires that , each took the same amount of weight. Maybe with Beads, it doesn't matter.:lol:
