2- 20 oz bags + applicator make about $100
THANK YOU VERY MUCH

 

More than your wifes wedding ring. that's awesome.

 

you only need about 4 oz per tire. so one bad should be fine.

we did the tire weights times 1.5 to decide on beads.

That's what I am wondering about. If I use the Walmart soft pellet method, do I weight the tire and wheel combo and put a certain amount of weight per pound or do I take he amountof wheel weights I currently have on the wheels and add that per tire? I run BFG all terrains and would love to ditch the wheel weights off my aluminum wheels if possible.

 

This is the chart one of the manufacturers post. My 19.5 wheels should have 8 oz times 6!

 

we did about 4.5 oz per tire on my dually. the static balance weights were at just under 3. they had 9oz bags as I recall and we did 1/2 bag per tire.

remember that the beads will have a larger leverage effect cause they are another 6 inches away from the wheel center.

they typically did 1 bag per tractor trailer tire. I don't know what size that is.

from experience I don't think u need that much.. look at your existing weights. add a little

Sam

 

i would also say it depends on the kind of tire. With my boggers i am going to use more than recommended cause they are so bad. In my experience big rig tires are shaky but not as bad as a big mud tire so i would use recommended amounts. i emailed the company that made that chart and they said use 12 oz per tire for mine. they weigh in at 100 lbs or so.

 

It will depend on the size and weight of the tire you putting them in. My 19.5 tires have 10oz in each tire, recommended by Dyna Bead when I bought them, they are never out of balance.

 

Question for those using Dynabeads - have you ever had the beads installed, and then asked them to spin the tire on the balancing machine?

 

Theres no reason to put hang on weights on them they rebalance every time you drive the vehicle.

 

yep.. drives them crazy!.. no two spins come out the same.

spin, put weights on,
spin... oops need weights somewhere else
etc
etc
etc

I had a tire with a bad tread.. they tried to balance it first, even tho I told them beads were present.. it was fun to watch for 30 minutes

Sam

 

Understood. But if you spin them on the machine, if they are truely balanced, the machine should show it, no? Just wondering if anyone has taken the time to verify the mechanical effect.

Edit: Thanks Sam, that's what I was wondering. Odd that they won't balance on the machine, but will on the truck. Perhaps they need some road bounce to help distribute effectively.

 

The beads may not work on a machine because they don't allow the tire to oscillate with the unbalance. When I get my 37s I'll have them balanced with weights and will add the beads later if they get out of balance. Balancing them first with weights will make it so less beads are needed later on.

 

You would have to spin balance them first, put your hang on weights on then fill them with the beads. A spin balancer will never spin them fast enough to disperse the beads where they need to go. It take about 35 to 45 mph to disperse the beads, up to that speed you won't notice if the tire is out of balance anyway. The point is you never feel it happen they just automatically balance.
