35" Interco Radials Won't Balance, HELP!!!
I've got 35x12.5 Interco Trxus MT Radials on 15x10 MT Sidebiter wheels and they won't balance. Th machine says they need something like 40-60oz of weights per wheel... What should I do? Will balancing beads/liquids/powders work for me? I need this to be highway drivable, but I can't do more than 45mph now...

That's swampers for you they ain't round. Most tire shops are lazy and say they can't balance them, tell them to unseat the bead spin the tire half a turn and try again.

Try dynabeads.com they have beads and can tell you how much to put in the tires. I've never used them in automobile tires but I have on motorcycle tires and I know that people run them in big truck tires.

I've balanced many sets of Swampers without having to put a pile of weight on, maybe 9 oz tops. Might be that those didn't get the balance pads glued to the inside of the tire like they usually do.
I've balanced 40's with no issues.

Because this is my only vehicle and it needs to be road worthy. My father's 38x15.5's balance perfectly on his Powerstroke, so I figured these should have balanced alright, you know?
I've never heard of tires having balance pads, could you explain a little please?
The Walmart BB deal is looking like what I'll end up doing. My buddy has them in his bias ply 36's and he said they work.
