since fitting my BFG 33" on the vehicle im getting bad shakes between 40-50, the wheels were balanced but have never been that good, so im thinking of using dynabeads or similar.

anyone used them?

Heard about them but my schoolboy physics still leaves me doubting whether they'd work.
I was once young and stupid enough to put some liquid puncture repair compound in my tyres (just bear with the analogy a moment), they were then inflated with CO2, with the idea being that when this stuff came in contact with any O2 in the air it would cure and fix the puncture! What a nightmare that turned into! - BAD vibrations on a summer moring for at least 5 mins or up to 15 mins in mid winter, early wheel bearing failure, unevenly worn tyres, struth it just dont bear thinking about!
In the end I threw the wheels and tyres away, fitted another set of wheel bearings and a full set of alloys - well it would have looked daft with only 2 or 3 wouldn't it

i dunno bout the dyna beads but ive tried easy-balance powder, an that worked great till i was airing up an down all the time for offroad an then got condensation in the tyre.

but at the moment ive got air-soft pellets in the tyres on my grand.(31's)
but it workes a treat an quite cheap. it funny when you come to a stop cos you can hear them all dropping from the tip of the tyre to the bottom an hitting off the rim!

the easy ballance was in a set of bfg mt 33's, an when i get bigger or a set on the monster ill be doing the same with them.

have a look here for how much you'll need an what people think, i just did a quick search for you. in my 31's ive used 6oz but for 33's i think you need about 8.

Wander over and we can try and balance them up, have some hi density stick on truck weights now

[isle of man]

they work a treat......have used them on my ktm - some teams in the usa are filling the tyres with water that works equally as good.

i run 33/10.5 x15 on my XJ with 10oz of BB's in each tyre i've had no problems done over a 1000 miles on them so far motorway and off road

I've not used the DB's but I have also used an easy balance powder that I got from www.fte.co.uk. My tyres are 33 x 12.5 x 15 BFG MT

It works fine and I've never had a problem on and off road, and powder has been in there for 18 months now.

I know it going to be hard to find but there used to be places that would balance the wheel/tyre while on the vehicle ,don't know of any places that do it round here anymore but it may be worth asking, the other thing is you can get one of those fluid rings that bolt between the wheel hub and wheel and the are self balancing as well

[Dave69]

balancing the wheel on the car is far better as it takes the driveline into account. most dont do it now as it takes too long and not cost effective

[wazza]

ive had that done aswell!!! worked fantastically till it threw a couple of weights.
there's a bloke otherside of town does it, he mainly deals with waggon tyres an winges like hell when you ask him to do it but it works well.

putting beads in tyres has the seme effect as ballancing on the car!
its becauses the beads are always moving about inside the tyres they just go to whereever there's an imbalance. also it changes all through the speed reange so you've got a perfectly ballanced tyre all the time!

if youve got a local ATS you could try them for the easy ballance as the one in nuneaton did mine like that, as they wouldn't put the 33's on machine, they said they were too big.
but i got talking to them since one was a suzuki nut an thats what they came up with. its mainly used for waggons too.

[wazza]

oh an to get just the front 2 tyres ballanced on the jeep cost me 30 quid. so yer not really cost effective but its worth it!!

[greggmo]

me and manda both run 33-12.50's and they where perfectly balanced and fitted by nene valley off road. they are good guys with good prises.

[isle of man]

all this talk of balancing tyres - soon as you dip in the gulp it's foooooking useless.


and it's GHAY


just my 2$ worth.

[greggmo]

it does go out the window when a got two foot o mud stuck on em ya right

[Dave69]

just balance the front two
