one of my bud's just has one ball and he seems to be making it okay....
I think mace runs liquid in his tires. I used 12 oz. Of the heavy air soft pellets worked perfect for my iroks. I would run 3 to 4 balls if I were you.

Got 4 golf balls installed in each tire last night... Hopefully soon I will be able to test it out!
Equal
I,ve used Equal for years. For radials the rim wieghts work fine but they are usless on bias tires. You can balance bias tires using rim weights but they are going to be out of balance the first time you park the truck and the tires cool off.
Here is the website for Equal and it has alot of info on how it works.

I would feel more comfortable using antifreeze if I had beadlocks. I blow beads too often! LOL

I don't blow the bead but I tend to vent air when the side walls flex. I'm usually the only guy on the trail airing UP mid way through.

Yeah, I don't do that... Maybe that's why I blow beads! LOL

Yeah, but I'm not going to change that! At least I'm running an 8" wide wheel with a 14.5" wide tire... That helps.
*UPDATE* I have 4 golf balls in each tire and now have a slight wobble between 35 and 45 mph. I'm starting to think I need a couple more balls in each tire. What do you guys think?

Well, apparently the antifreeze gets into you bead, and lubes it so that on the steepest F'ing hill climb you've ever done, your rims spin in your tires and you're fawked.... lesson learned.
(shameless wheeling pic.... not THE hill, but gives you an idea)

fluid filled tires and no beadlocks is a poor idea
I am sure you are right.....I must have good luck cause I have only lost one bead in my life.....or not wheeling hard enough

Not in a colder climate
