seams like a fine powder would be susceptible to moisture

 

Still running my dynabeads with no issues. Have close to 15k with them in. Road trip to Nashville with them. Wheeling a few times.
I'm happy. We just put em in my friends 2dr and he is having a lil shake. He has 15" rims, and I have 17". He used 8oz.. Same as me. We think he might need more due to the smaller diameter wheel.

 

Did you use the pour in method or were you able to find a tire shop that would install them? Anyone know of any major brand tire shops that will install them? I have TPMS stems so you cant self pour them in.

 

X2 on above, exactly what I experienced

2003 new dodge truck 35 BFG A/T's, used "equal tire balancer throw in bag" 8 oz., the ride was smooth as silk. Now, 2010 JKUR, 40's with lead weights, rocks ate them up, got out of balance, rode like crap, took off lead weights, put in 15oz of the .12 gram AIR SOFT BB's, rides smooth again. I will never use lead weights on a "off road vehicle" again, period!

28.35 grams = 1 oz

 

Have 35x12.5x17 MTR w/Kevlar, had them rebalance couple of times but they would eventually get out of balance. Put in the balancing beads and what a difference. Guys at the tire shop recommend them for all large off road tires. The nice thing is that you don't have to rebalance the tire. The beads are dynamic and constantly adjust. I have no noise from them and will definitely use them again in the future. Would just recommend frequent rotation of the tires to provide even wear.

 

I have had the dynabeads for a while now, just waiting to install them. what should I expect a tire place to charge to break the beads for 5 35's?? I have heard nothing but good things about them.

 

I have a set of 35'' mickey baja claws mounted on 15'' wheels. At first i had weights and it felt ok, i would get wobbles at certain speeds and then it got progressively became worse. sometimes the jeep felt extremely unstable and i was actually afraid to drive it on the high way. I then went to my local tire shop and had them put balancing sand in them. They use a little pouch of sand (brand unknown), once you get going the pouch breaks, and out comes the sand. I couldnt believe how awsome it works, they always roll smooth, no wobble at all, and they dont get ripped off when wheeling. I highly reccomend the sand, as for the beads they sound similar, but maybe the sand is better considering its much more fine.

 

I'm running dynabeads in mine. Have the stock tires that are notorious for going out of balance all the time. Off road version (larger beads don't affect the tpms) and they work really well. I had a local shop here put them in for me, as I didn't want to mess with it that day, and it was an hour job for them, if that. They also told me they had something in stock that was just like them for a lot cheaper, which will be nice to know in the future. My town has less than 2000 people in it, so if we have them here, they have to be everywhere. I run 8 oz in each tire right now.

 

To be honest, I'm not sure. My tire treads are so aggressive that I just feel the treads when starting off.

For the comments on TPMS sensors (which I don't have since mine is an '07), I seriously doubt you'd have an issue with the BB's sticking to them. I have no idea if they would damage them in anyway, but I wouldn't think so. There is no way to pour them into the valve stem as they are physically too big to fit through a valve stem. The nice thing about the BB's is that they won't clump like the powder types can.

Edit: fixed a typo.

 

From what you describe is sounds like you have the "equal tire balance" in your tires. The tire shop that threw in the 8 oz Break-up bag's in my Dodge truck's tires (35 BFG A/T) explained to me that the polymer (sand like) balancer will not absorb moisture or clump. http://imiproducts.com/equal.html?gc...FYYaQgodMQSDTg
