    1. Put beads in tire
    2. Put tire on wheel
    3. Install on truck

    They balance when you're drivin supposedly. Works fr lots if people so I'm going to give it a try.

    How much did you put in each wheel? Thinking about going this route since my 315 won't balance for the tech.

    10 oz for 37
    Nah, it wouldn't show balanced anyway. I have tried with other tires.

    I'll let you know how it works for me. They use it on motorcycle tires and semi truck tires. As well as most big tire applications. Everyone says it works great.

    Thanks! I think I'm going to this route since they wanted 22oz on the one I dropped off this morning.

    Yeah that's a lot. Definitely try beads. You can buy "special" ones made just for tires but they're expensive. I put 10 oz of bbs in mine and see how it works. I'll add more if required.

    Ahh, yea I wasn't sure if it'd really show much on a spinner since there's no forward motion.
