What wheels are you running and are they hub centric?

 

A wheel is hub centric if the bore fits tightly to the hub. Many aftermarket wheels, in order to fit multiple applications with have over sized bore diameters that will fit many different hubs. These would be considered lug centric, because the all of the weight/forces of the vehicle are exerted on the lugs rather than the hub. When the bore fits snug to the hub, all of the weight/force is exerted on the hub rather than the lugs. If you have factory wheels those are hub centric, and as you said, it sounds like the problem is with the tires.

 

I have Dynabeads now and like them. They balance my 35" MT pretty damn good.

 

i think @Crom used these.

I've ran the beads for six months now over 3,000 miles. Love them. One of my favorite mods. On two occasions when driving very aggressively and accelerating from a stop immediately into a turn (interstate onramp) have the beads misbalanced the tires. That's it.

If I had the OP's problems, I'd buy cragislist TRD wheels and tires and slap them on to diagnose.

 

I've run the beads, worked great, then changed my tires and all the beads spilled out. Not wanting to buy more beads, or pick them up for reuse, I used the equal weight of 50/50 water/antifreeze mixture. Next to free alternative and never had an issue with it.

For the Tacoma, or farm equipment?

On a built samurai, daily driver/offroad toy, 33's, rockcrawling and highway speeds. The Samurai definitely was not capable of the comfort/speeds on highway of a Tacoma, but the water balance worked great for me. Interested if it would work as well on the Taco

 

Thanks for the reply. I personally wouldn't want that much moisture in the tire, worry about corrosion of vave core. TPMS hardware, antifreeze is also a very potent poison. I know it works, but I personally wouldn't be doing it.

I've seen some folks run airsoft BB's.

 

I had a built Samurai also, just used regular wheel weights though:

 

If you got vibes from the wheels, it's because they aren't centered to the hub, the hub does not have any weight or forces on them at all, people tend to think so but the lugs are what's carrying the weight and forces. I'm typing on a phone so I won't go into detail. The hub is simply there to help you center the wheel.

I've had this problem with many vehicles, after road force balancing and still get the vibes. It's usually due to the wheel not properly centered to the hub. You need to clean the hub on the truck with a light sand paper, sometimes small amounts of dirt or rust will throw off the centering. Use hub centric rings that is made to adapt your wheels to the trucks hub, i.e. 108mm to 106.1mm rings.

Use Gorilla extended shank lug nuts which will help center the wheel better because the extended shank goes into the rim (hard to explain but they work) plus it'll give you more thread to hold onto.

So that's what you need to do for aftermarket wheels anyhow.

So if your using oem wheels, the tire shop needs to use the Toyota specific adapter to balance the wheel, otherwise it'll never balance right.

Good luck.

I had dyna beads in a set of 35 km2's. Worked great with no external weights.

 

I recently put the dyna beads in my 35x12.50r17s - they do work. I don't get the vibrations I had with standard wheel weights.

 

Have you had the tires trued to make sure they are a true round?
