i found a thread on Pirate a while back about using the soft pellets and there was a chart as to how much weight to use depending on tire size . i have 35" Mikey Thompson MTZs on Bead locks with 10 oz of pellets in each , not a bit of vibration at any speed . Bought them at Walmart ,price was pretty good .

stainless steel balls work as well but are more expensive - I think Rob Cogswell is using #6 lead shot in his - another option

I have balls of steel, but in my tires is not a good place for them  I think I'll just call around on my lunch break to see what road force balancing them costs. I'll need an alignment too, maybe if i flash my pretty sh*t brown eyes they'll give me a deal. likely not. |

Won't the steel damage the inside of the tire?

Sometimes the tire doesn't seat properly to the rim and by breaking them down lube the beads and re-inflate tire to max air pressure it sometimes wheel help reduce vibration. That technique is used quite often on big truck tires especially on steer axles during PDI's following road test.

you can also break them down, rotate the tire on the wheel 90deg and rebalance
