Default Dynabeads or airsoft pellets?

Tires need balancing, and im not putting wheel weights back on. So, figured i'd try something new with something self-balancing. So, I dont mind to pay the extra to use the dynabeads as long as it's worth it. So should i get the dynabeads or just use airsoft pellets? I'm balancing my 31s so its not a question of will the dynabeads work

I have good luck with dynabeads for tires 35" and lower. No luck with them in anything larger. Dynabeads are made from somesort of a silican plastic so they will roll correctly and find the imbalance and stay in place while in motion. Never tried airsoft pellats tho, they would be cheaper but don't know if they would work.

I've never used them on truck tires but I do use them on my motorcycle tires and have never had any problem with them and they are dyna beads.

The difference really is price, and the dynabeads fit thru the valve stem. With the Airsofts you have to break a bead and put them in. iMO, the extra cost is not worth it for the dynabeads.

I've heard that from a few people, but the only thing is with the dynabeads theres no queston on how much to put in, and with the airsoft pellets theres no definite number
