Dude, NO! Besides the point that you'll end up with jagged pieces of pool ball in your tires, large heavy medium like that just won't work. Bb's are optimal because their relatively small surface area lets them settle into the tire to balance where needed while rotating and pool ***** wouldn't. I'm all for experimentation, but I can guarantee this is a bad idea. Stick with some copper coated bb's.

Could a guy use "lead" shot for reloading in tires to balance out? They shouldn't be affected by moisture too bad, and it'd be pretty cheap as well. The one problem I see with lead shot is that it doesn't take much to deform them. You can buy a 25lb bag of shot for like $18.00.
I also don't think pool ***** would be a good idea.
Maybe you could use marbles, then if you loose a bead you could say you lost your marbles.......

Lead clumps easier with moisture than does copper... Not to mention once the shot loses their shape, its only going to make clumping easier. Im sure it wouldnt be that big of a deal, evertime you came to a stop the shot would be dropping from all around the tire, helping with breaking clumps up. Its really just the deformities you'd end up with. That would prevent the shot from spreading easily around the tire.
