Airsoft works better because BBs will rust. It works OK but sudden stops are a little harder. Never heard of it done on anything smaller than a 40" tire. KM2s balance well with regular tire weights.

i used 13oz of copper bb's and 2oz of antifreeze in my 33's on steel rims.
copper bb's don't rust. i used the antifreeze to keep them cool so they wouldn't melt into my tire.
but i'm sure that they would slowly hammer away alloy rims over time.
i used the larger bb's so there was no way they could enter my valve stem when i aired down.
works pretty good after 5 years in the same tires.
plus i like the whoosh of the bb's when i come to a stop. they are on my wifes tj now.
