Longterm airsoft bb's review?

[Ned Kelly]

For those guys running airsoft bb's in their dd tires, how are the bb's holding up? Are they abrading against each other, turning into dust? Or they holding up well?

I've had mine in there for about 4-6 months and no problems.

I'm curious about this as well. I would like to balance mine with them as well

Ehhh... seach google. Actually I don't have the link anymore, but on jeepforum.com there's a link to dynabeads or something like that. They have a chart on there that suggests how many ounces of weight you'll need with different sized tires, rims, widths, etc... That's what I used. I'm on 33x12.5x15, stock chevy rims and used around 8oz in each tire I think.

Doesn't make any noticable noise and you can almost detect a shimmy around 30-35mph, but it's there and gone in an instant. I'm not sure if it's the tires or the steering/alignment, but like I said it's barely there and I can live with it.

I'm about to put them in mine just as soon as my wheels come in. Here's the link to that chart. http://www.innovativebalancing.com/BigTirechart.htm

i'm running 33x12.5x15 dunlop mud rovers on 8" rims without any balance issues. two of the wheels do have some big balancing weights, though. thankfully, i haven't managed to knock any off offroad.

I ran some for many months in my DD, almost a year. I switched the tires to different rims, and the bb's, tires, and rims all looked perfect. Nothing to worry about.

Good to know! Thanks!
