anyone use BB's to balance tires?

[Vee]

I was thinking of using BB's or airsoft pellets to balance my tires. How do you estimate how much to use?

I used airsoft pellets on my Jeep. They are only 31's, but no one around could balance them. $9 for the pellets, $1.20 for some baggies and the electronics cashier at wally-marts helped me measure them out with the scale at his register.

I used innovative balancing's reccomended amount and they work great.

Wow, that's pretty cool. I've never heard of that before.

X2. I have 1700 airsoft BBs in each of my 39.5 Iroks. Death wobble = no more. Until I threw it out of alignment.

I put 2000 of the 20g air softs in each of my Iroks.

I have 2500 0.12g airsoft pellets in each of my swampers and they still shake like crazy. Perhaps I should have bought round tires.
