How do you balance them? I have used BB's in several sets of big mud tires ( 35 inch and bigger) and had great luck with it. Has anyone used the soft pellets or anything like them? I wont use the powder because it sometimes clumps.

I go to the local place that has a computer spin balancer and give them $20.Ich habe dich nicht gefragt. -

if you have a store called cycle gear nearby it's free to balance them even if you buy the tire from another place.
they won't even charge you for the weights unless you have spoked wheels.
free is a good deal!" She'll make point five past lightspeed. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself. "

That has to be a total scam.
There is no way that can possibly work!
The material would position itself with pure centrifugal force.
An out of balance wheel would not distribute extra material to
a light spot on the wheel.
Impossible!John

You beat me to it. There's a few people on some of the other forums I visit that use them. They've had good luck with them. Myself, I use a Mark Pharns static ballancer and automotive style stick on weights.Originally posted by Elevener View PostComment

No scam, semis have used a powder called equal or something like that for years. I have gone thru three sets of mud tires with BB's in them. Smooth down the highway and if you ever used big tires you know how difficult they are to keep balanced. Some people even throw a few golf balls in big mud tires!Originally posted by jjwaller View Post

Admittedly, an interesting concept.
However, physics dictates this cannot work.
What would make it work?
Someone explain the physics of this to me please.
Sorry, I'm old school.

Sorry,
Ain't no way that will balance a tire. It will dampen vibration. All the material (no matter what it is) you put in a tire will find the furtherest point from the axis.'81 1100 MNS - "Midnight XSpress"

120 mains outer cylinders - 125 mains inner cylinders - Ceramic headers - Powder coated pipes, covers calipers, and MC's

I mount and balance my tires. That said, a few years ago I picked up some of the beads and used them on an XJ650 and a XS750(which I still have). I think I paid like $24 for 6oz(2-2oz and 2-1oz) which did both bikes tires.
On the 650 there was no vibration at all up just over 100mph. On the 750, It has a bit of engine vibration already being a triple but no steering or frame vibration to 110mph. It just turned 3kmi since I rebuilt it and put the tires on and they show no wear.
I have since balanced all my tires with weights on an XJ650 Turbo and both XS1100's.RichardComment
