So I've been reading up on balancing tires and such as I have some vibration coming from my Mickey Thompsons. I am going to try to add BB's in the tire to see if that will work.

So my question is this: If I deflate the tire, would there be enough room between the side wall the rim for me to add the BB's? Or do I need to unmount the whole tire?

I was going to use Dynabeads, however, it doesn't look like I can use their applicator in the valve stem since I have TPMS.

Also...any other advice/suggestions? Any feedback on using this method?

TIA

I run dynabeads in my 315/70/17 Hankooks... Had to add like 10oz each and still wouldn't balance so now i added sticky wheights. Still not balanced to perfection but better. not sure if its the brand but i would avoid BBs or dynabeads. they work on trucks and 37s and up but sticky weights are best for our sized tires. IF you do decide to use them, the new dynabeads are large enought to not interfere with TPMS.

I run balancing beads (kal tire brand, whatever they are) 8oz bags in my 315/70/17 Trail Grapplers and i dont have one single shimmy or vibration, i will never run static or sticky weights again.
If you deflate the tire and break the bead you should be able to slide the bag of beads in. I will find out what brand of beads we use.. you would think being a Kal Tire employee i would know this LOL
