internal tire balance

[decavo]

those of u who have used bbs,, golf balls ,,how is it holding up .. what did you use ..need info ..my balance with weights does not last ..

 

[CruisinGA]

it works...

the best medium is stainless BB's. My plastic airsoft pellets disintigrated.


Just pour in the right weight according to this article...

Thanks for the link! I would think the ceramic bb's would still be best...as stainless steel will still rust in the right/wrong environment.

I've been running 12oz. of airsoft pellets in my 37s for about a month. I get vibrations right at 30mph then they balance out. So far so good. I haven't taken one apart to see if the pellets have broken up.

I put some SS (looking, didn't say anything on the box) BBs in my tires, bought 2 2k pellet boxes and poured half in each tire, too much wont hurt. Had them in my 35" TSLs for about a month now, smooth as silk up to 40 and after 45. A little shimmy is had between those speeds.

What's the advantage in doing this?

Your tires are re-balanced every time you drive and you don't have any weights to fall off.

Mark used golf balls in his 37's. Other than sounding funny, it works awesome.

Been using this product for about 8 months. So far so good and the tires are wearing evenly.

I wasplanning on doing this, but my Toyos are true enough not to need it.

Wait until you chunk 'em...

every time i go out the tires get a little less chunky .. I am leaving rubber on the trail ..I am going to put bb's in there as soon as i am ready to not go out on a saturday .. anyone use the real thing

Another reason to use this method is if you use large tires with beadlocks. You can balance them for the life and wheel weights on huge tires are not the best answer.

Steel BB's are a bad idea... there will always be moisture inside your tire and they will rust into a nasty lump.

mcmaster.com has all different sizes of stainless BB's pretty reasonable
