UGH!

Anyways.... I am not sure about this, but it would seem logical to me that adding too many beads (weight wise) would have zero ill effect on the balance. I would guess the beads would move to the right spot whether you run the Dynabead recommended weight or more.

Something real to back that theory up with is that many of my friends running desert buggies (Ultra4) run their tires filled with water. Looked to me to be gallons of water, but I can ask. They stay balanced at speeds in the 100+ mph range, then to crawling speeds, while aired down to less than five pounds of pressure. So... I am going to make an educated guess that more beads would be just fine.

Correct. More beads than u need doesn't cause a problem other than wasted money
