I dont like the pellets because they only start to balance when you gain speed.

swampers are a very hard tire to balance espicialy if your drive alot of roads,
You are exactly right!!! I put the beads in (they are new swampers) and OMG it's the worst ride ever... Now I have to go have the bead broke again, remove the beads and have them balanced normally. I tried and they wont balance out with the beads in them. Every time the machine asks for a different wieght. So my experience is this method blows dont waste your time if you have interco's or other big meaty tires.

I hear yeah man,, I actually had to sell my swampers with 90% thread just because they were impossible to balance. Beads or weight didn't work

Can you be a little more specific? Is the ride bad at a slow speed or higher speeds? And are those swampers bias or radial? Just curious...

It started to ride bad above 35mph and there BIAS. I took the beads out and had them balanced and its better but still shakes above 60mph but I think thats my shocks.
