NJ for now
they are the 36 inch bias ply. Can't get the balanced. five tires only got one balanced.. I was thinking about dismounting them again. think about trying the ball bearings. How much goes and the one tire though? Not sure why they won't balance. So I thought I'd try a different approach
.

Thanks
 
if spin balencing = waste of time. do old fashion bubble balence. bias like this better.

but these tires are old as hell these days . i got a set of newer 37" radials that are 10 years old now.

old tires and bias = good luck :doah:
 
bubble balance? thats new to me.. not the 37s. its the older 36s. need to get them balanced and on the truck to sell it.. ball bearing will not work? thanks
 
Same here. Airsoft pellets. I have 2200 in each of my 11.0x16 michelins. They work pretty good
 
Chris (NorCal_Chris)has some airsoft pellets in his tires....
Funniest thing to hear rolling down the trail. :haha:

if they are the goodyear "military oz" r/t II's and they have been retreaded they will not balance they square up after sitting a while.. also see if the run-flats are still inside if so cut them out.. 8-10oz of airsoft bb's per tire does the trick cheap fix there like 10$ for 2k

Another vote for airsofts. My tires are not very big (33"), but they are Boggers. Mine are absolutely smooth at ANY speed (had it to 65), even with some tread blocks cut and mangled. :waytogo:
 
thanks hope to get this done today if i can get the use of my friends tire machines.
