Default balancing beads

so i switching rims and was wondering what the prevailing thought was on balancing beads. the tires are 285/70 17 so they are not huge but the stick on tend to fall off and im not sure about weights only on the inside.

so if you have them and like them or hate them let me know. thx

They work fine for me. 10oz in each 40 with double bead locks.

I am running racelines on 37 inch mud grapplers balanced with weights on the inside. Zero issues for me. I just mounted the wheels to the tires and hauled them over to discount tire. Easy day.

Same here. ATX Slabs with 37" GY MTR/Ks. Put them on the Jeep and drove to Discount tire. Worst tire only needed 6oz, two needed 3oz, and one only took .25oz. They drive great.
