Anyone here use Dynabeads?

I just ordered some new tires today and am wondering if anyone has opinions on dynabeads for larger tires on a expy. I have used dynabeads in both of my motorcycles and love being able to mount and "balance" my own tires. I have access to a tire change and balancer (MWR auto craft shop on post) but would like to use the beads if at all possible. I have checked and found that I need 8 ounces per tire for a 285/75/16. Anyone know of any reputable dealers that will sell me 32 ounces of beads for around $50 including shipping?

Go ahead use it as long as its not abrasive to the inside of the tire it should be okay.
Are those the real fine glass beads?

According to this chart, you only need 5 oz. per tire, not 8.
Tire Balancing Charts for Light Truck, Commercial and Motorcycles

You can get 2 14 oz. bag from them for about $50 and still have 8 oz. left over. Less if you're going to do the spare as well.

They also have a 20 oz. bag, which is just the amount you need, for $36.

I have a friend with an F-550, jacked up and running semi truck tires about 40" tall. He uses Dyna Beads and says they work great.

Thanks for the info.

Here is my mistake, I was looking at the wrong chart. Even though my tires are oversized, they are not radical or anything. Just Falken Rocky Mountain ATS.
