Need Help with Tire Balancing

Zinc coated BB's will also do in a pinch.
Someone was saying the Dyna Beads will do something to the valve stem but I can't see it happening.
I like the Ride-On product too and might use it in some tires to see how I like it but it's much more expensive than the beads but then again it does seal the tires up to a point. (little pun)

I use an electric pencil engraver to setup vibration at the valve stem and it works pretty slick. Otherwise putting 5 oz in my truck tires would take all day.

I had a bead get stuck inside the stem and when I went to check my air pressure it kept the stem open. I shot some air in and cleared it out. I am now in the habit of giving the tires a shot of air before I check the pressure. I don't find this to be a problem and will continue to use them because they work and no more ugly wheel weights.

beads! I dun, need no steeken beads!
If you have good rims that are in balance, just align the E3 mark on the tire (E3 witha circle around it) with the valve stem on the rim. I don't have anything and have no issues.
But if your rim is not in balance, your results will be bad.
I have 6K on the rear and 15K on the front - no issues at ANY :> speed.

Just follow the bead application charts on the dynabead website. You should be good to go. I didn't bother to remove the weights from my truck tires.
