Default Balance beads w/ 35" kevlars

I've put 8oz of hd offroads balance beads in my 35x12.5x15 mtr kevlars and it has a little shimmy at 50+.. Wondering if I should add more like 10oz total per tire or just take them out and sticky weight them.

Anybody have problems or any recommendations?

I have once and didn't have much luck with them. I have always had better luck with the stick on weights.

I never put beads in my tires never had a problem with 35's getting balanced...35's aren't that big once u go to 36"+ they get tricky to balance good.

I've been running balance beads for 3 years in 33s and I have never had any issues with them

I was running 8 0z. with my 34 inch swampers, drove great, well for swampers. I would try 10 oz. and see what happens. I won't ever go back to stick on weights.
