tire balance-need advice

[konastinky1234]

so i have to re balance my tires since they have gone out of balance through wheeling wear and tear. now, i am not sure what to do.

option 1: get them rebalanced somewhere-not sure on cost and i will definitely throw them out of balance again i'm sure.

option 2: throw in the specified amount of airsoft bbs for 35s. either pull the weights off the wheel or leave them on.

i know the airsoft bbs has been gone over a million times on the internet and i have done my research. most say they work awesome. i just want to get some firsthand opinions/experiences from the people who i know best. mainly if YOU have done it i want to know, along with results and setup specifications.

thanks for any help guys

my iroks are balanced with bb's i think and they diffidently balance super good at speed

done it on 33's and 35's. throw 11oz in em and call it a day, forever. boom

ok, now not sure if you guys would know firsthand or from some othe rknowledge but should i rip the old weights off before i put bbs in? i would think that say, 11 oz would be ideal for a 33 or 35 like you said, but if it already had weights on it would that large amount throw it off, or would they just adjust all the same? i want to think they would balance out all the same, weights or not, because they are dynamic balancing method which would theoretically adjust to any tire no matter how balanced or unbalanced it is (assuming there are enough bbs for a terribly off balance tire)

any thoughts? maybe i'll just have to give it a shot, i could always rip the weights off afterwards if it doesn't work out.

If you want something better then airsoft bbs go to a semi truck tire shop and grab bags of Equal. Throw one bag in each tire and you are on your way.

I had them in my old 33" BFGs when I had my xj. I believe the measurement was a solo cup per tire if I remember right.

i ripped em off, doesn't matter it will rebalance anyway

I ran airsoft bbs, they worked well

Put like a shotglass or so of anti-freeze in there as well so when it gets cold the bbs dont freeze together and clump. That'll keep them separated.

anybody know if the equal will freeze?

[Ruepart Hoaxley]

It won't. I have it in my 33s and my snow tires.

[hoggie101]

Doodooo

[konastinky1234]

It won't. I have it in my 33s and my snow tires.

ok, only thing I read was moisture makes it clump. I think I'm gonna go ebbs since they won't clump
