Easiest Beadlocks to Balance
 
Just trying to get some feedback on the different types of beadlocks out there and how hard they were to balance. I currently run spyderlocks and they're hard to get just right, i keep having to go in every 3-4 months to get them rebalanced.

Look up balancing tires with airsoft bbs... People swear by it

I've heard from several people that ATX Slabs are really well made and easy to install/ balance.

After reading of others having balancing issues with the Goodyear MT/R'S that was my thought exactly. That's seems to be the norm with the tires. They just won't stay in balance from what I've read.

I agree. Had them and it was a continual process to keep them balanced. Good tire but a total PITA

I'm running the AEV Beadlocks and Nitto Trail Grapplers with balancing beads with no problems.

So what tires are you running?
