How many OZ of airsoft pellets should I put in my 33x13.5x15's on steel D Windows?

Alot of people. They use them on big rigs too. Google dyna beads or airsoft balancing. They perfectly balance all the time.

what do you do glue them on the outside? beacuse if you pour them in the inside i don't see how they'd balance it. just my .02 i wouldnt cut corners with something like this. i've always taken mine to a shop

They do this not sure how much per tire. depends on tire size and they even do it on the RC Rock Crawlers too.

You can keep throwing wieghts and cupping your tires. I opt to preserve mine.

8 ounces in a 33 ounce tire. I put 9 ounces in mine and it's perfect. I also did it for a friend who is running 33x12.5x17's and he couldn't be happier. Tires rebalance themselves every time you start moving so as they wear you don't need to get them rebalanced and for the guys who air down when you hit the trails, sometimes your tires can actually spin on the rim a little and then your balancing will be off, with the beads it doesn't matter because the beads will rebalance every time you start moving. The beads will go to all the low spots as you increase speed and if there are too many the extras will counterbalance themselves, that's why I didn't mind putting in 9 ounces. So far they work better than balancing them at a shop and for the record I run a Full Repair and Tire Shop... I don't offer it to customers but I would mention it to all guys running larger off road tires.

Just a small swoosh when starting or stopping youll never notice. Espeacially if you have swampers like me lol. Just dont use metal bb's they rust and will pit your rims, use the white .20 airsoft pellets if you can find them. .12 will work though.
