Tire Balance Bag Thoughts?

[Bodge Garage]

I wanted to love the beads and I gave them a very fair effort. Weeks of back and forth with the manufacturer. In the end I paid a tire shop to break the tires down and remove all of the beads. ZERO problems with lead.

Nope for me. I have tried them in the past and was not happy with the results.

I second that. Such a mess with beads…..never again.

Advice taken, thanks men

Add another one to the regular weights. While I did consider going with beads, I balanced my 37 Nitto trail grapplers normally and I don’t think a single one took over 1.5 ounces. I can cruise down the highway at 90 and it’s smooth as butter.
That being said I’ve never tried beads or bags, so my advise is kind of biased.

I had great results with beads on a motorcycle rim I didn't want lead ruining the look of. I don't think that's a reason on truck rims. I've heard you can add them later if they can't get the tire balanced well enough. Maybe the combination of the two would be effective on such large tires? I wouldn't use bags unless the TPMS is flush with the inside walls, I have no clue if they are or not.
