Default Airsoft BB's to balance tires?

Ok, knocked off wheel weights for the second time while wheeling. Instead of having to pay to balance my tires after hard wheeling trip I'm thinking about trying the BB's. I've read some good and bad reviews on some forums. Is anyone on here using them with 35" MTR/K? They take alot of weight to balance so just wondering if anyone has tried it.

I'm running 8oz per tire 35" nitto trail grapplers. Runs good no vibrations up to 80 mph.
just make sure the pellets are not biodegradable.

I run 10.5 oz in my 38" MTR/K's. I get a little vibration around 55mph (it goes away by 60) it's very slight and I don't get it every time.

I'm running 12 oz in my 37" MTZ. I have a ever so slight shimmy from 50 to 55ish then gone. Passengers can't even notice it.
