KKMobile Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 A freind of mine uses them & says they work! Another freind tried the powder & it didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Do a search: there was a thread about them just recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbs Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Yes, I put the thread up on here but have'nt used them yet-I do have them in the garage and when I get my new tyres then I will use them as I use mach5's as my everyday wheels as they're a real PITA to balance the amount of info that was put onto the thread was excellent-Thanks to all that put information onto the thread it was very welcome.

BogMonster Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 They help, but my 33x13.50R15 Mudzillas are still far from balanced. The fact the tyres aren't round is the main problem. I've not tried them in anything else, I prefer to get normal tyres balanced normally, the beads were a last ditch attempt when 1/2 kilo of lead on each front wheel failed!!

Orange Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I have used the powder with good results. Haven't personally tried the beads, but I know others have (and also used BB rounds) with good results too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Used ceramic airsoft balls in a 265 x 75 Insa Turbo. Worked perfectly, even on te front at all speeds upto 65mph. I put in more than the chart on the balancing beads website suggest, but when you can buy thousands of the buggers for peanuts I erred on the side of caution. Definitely worth a punt.
