Default Anyone using Dynabeads for tire balancing?

I need to balance my 35x12.50x17 tires. Put them on this spring and have some balance issues. Been reading some forums and most have been using Dynabeads with good results. Anyone have them and what are your thoughts?
Thanks.

i have been using them on my 37s and i love them. once in awhile i get a tiny shake around 25 30 mph but only for afew seconds. i would say if you have any over sized tire to use the dynabeads.

This is a great short video that shows how the beads work. I was surprised by it honestly. I run weight bags in my 35's. I think I am going to swap to these when I get new tires whenever Iam able to wear this big things out

I have a buddy that runs 40's on his blazer and he uses dynabeads. According to him, they work great!

I have a couple of questions, one, it appears that everytime you stop and start up it has some imbalance until you reach a certain speed again. Also, what do these do to the TPMS units?

Wow, that YouTube video is quite convincing.

How do you know how many oz of dynabeads to use?

I would love to take the ugly stick on weights off my wheels and switch to these dynabeads. Never saw them before this thread, but the fact they will constantly balance the tire as it wears as opposed to rebalancing occasionally is a huge selling point, provided they work like that.

Web page has a reference for how many to use based on tire information and wheel info.
According to the chart - my 35x12.50x17 Fun Country ii's use 8oz.

Price per 8oz bag is $15.80

I will be calling to check on the impact on the TPMS as I also thought that there might be a issue but hoped they thought this one out.

I have read some forum's on using the airsoft pekkets but have no idea how many to use.

Thank you for all the feedback. I am going to get these ordered and shipped and will update when I get them installed.
