You can try more. I had bad luck too.
My problem was moisture in the tire causing the smaller Dynabeads to clump.

So I am giving it one more try tomorrow. I am adding 3oz to each tire making it 11oz. If it doesn't work then, it's time to suck them out!!!!!

Just did my BFGs 285/75/17 with 6oz in each. The guys at Farm and Fleet looked at me like I was nuts. Until they spun them up and took it for a ride. They'll be doing more big tires now.

Well it looks like I am removing the beads tomorrow and attempting to balance again. Life is great to 55 and then it is just too iffy for me. I head to camp often and it's 1.5 hours on the highway. I just can't stand how sporadic it is after 55. One minute it is smooth at a speed over 55 then it's not. It also tends to jump around a bit after a big bump. That doesn't work so well here in Maine with bumps and holes everywhere.
