Agreed. But that's what DynaBead told me I needed for my 315R75 16" MT/R's...that I don't run anymore anyway. You could feel the beads actually NOT working up to around 40mph; all the beads would sit on one side of the tire until enough centrifugal force from ~45mph+ would distribute them. Sometimes they ran smooth and sometimes they didn't.

Funny thing: When I switched to the 285R75 18" Toyo AT's (2nd set now) a year ago with lead weight balancing I've never had another balance issue with tires; even with chunks missing.
