tire balancing

[lacruiser]

Guys, any of you have any experience with the various tire balancing methods? These Toyos seem to go out of balance pretty easily, and I know there are several products on the market that you can put inside to dynamically balance them. Dyna Beads is one, and I've heard some folks have used Airsoft pellets and BB's.

Anyone know what is the best deal out there?

thanks

Nothing recently but I had 38s on a Toy 4WD pup and I used the metal BBs. It was the only thing that worked. Dynabeads weren't available then and I never heard of airsoft pellets til recently.

Yeah, I've heard of using BB's. However, I also heard that they are only copper coated, not solid copper, so the coating wears off, you're left with steel BB's that end up rusting.

I haven't priced out Dyna beads yet, but I understand they're not cheap. I guess they might need some competition.

Too bad the airsoft pellets can't be put in through the stem, like the dyna beads. I really don't want to have to break the beads on all these tires just to add them.

The main reason for using the BBs was because I could just put them in through the valve stem. I never worried about rust. The truck was stolen before I had a chance to see if there was even a rust issue. But worked for me.
