Default dyna beads

I've done a search and have read some posts about dyna beads. Posts were kind of old so my question is, are people that have them still satisfied with them?

A coworker just put a set of 35 inch Cooper mrs on his JKU. He used dyna beads for balance, 6 oz per tire. He really likes it so far.

I'm running dynabeads in my 37x13.5 Toyos. I have approximately 4000 miles in them. No issues. Work great.

I've never used Dyna Beads in a car tire but I've used them in motorcycle tires. IMHO the real benefit is when tires start to wear. Especially if they wear unevenly. I had a BMW that would start to scallop its front tire after about 2500 miles. By 4000 miles the darn thing looked like the back of an alligator. Using lead weights when it got to that point you'd feel a vibration through the bars when running over 70 mph. It got worse the faster you rode. Switching to Dyna Beads kept the bike smooth until I wore the tire out at about 7500 miles. Went through 4 front tires using Dyna Beads and the bike was always smooth regardless how bad the tire looked. I will say if the bike hadn't been a tire eating beast I'd have stayed with regular wheel weights.

I've been running Dynabeads for awhile now in my pro comp mt 35/12.5/17 and they have been great! No weights on any of my wheels.
I would defiantly use them again.

There is 5 bags in there.

Have dynabeads for 5000 miles now in my 35s. Not terribly happy - its ok but get vibrations often when starting out and often at hi speeds. Might be not enough beads but i decided to have them removed and traditionally balanced soon.

No problem with both...
