Has anyone done the rv antifreeze tire balancing? I recently bought 33x12.5r15 Cooper Discoverer STT, called around to get them mounted and balanced. Only place near me saying they could balance them for some reason was amerimex. Went in paid, afterwards they told me they can't balance them they need too much weight and wouldn't refund me the balancing costs or compensate me.

Now I've called around everywhere again and no where near wants to balance them besides discount which keeps telling me $19 a tire and I really don't want to pay that as I'm pretty low on funds now. I would do airsoft bb's or similar but I do not want to dismount the tire to add them.

So onto the point. Has anyone done liquid dynamic balancing using rv antifreeze? I've heard good things about it, but I've heard others saying it did nothing for them at alal

I just did this with my 32x10.5 Kenda MTs. I put roughly 10oz in each tire and it worked like a charm. I was pretty skeptical until the results I had with these tires and now I'm a firm believer.

Don't want to high jack. But how does the antifreeze work when airing down tires for off road? My mtr's took a lot of weight and i'm looking for other options.

All the guys I know who do this run beadlocks and trailer their rigs everywhere and stay at 5psi

I don't imagine it would matter...................10 ounces is less than a can of beer.
I am sure it would lay in a puddle at the bottom of the tire about 1/16th" deep.
You would have to put a few gallons of liquid in your tire to bring it up to where the tire valve is (if the tire valve ended up at the bottom when you parked it)

Hmm... It's mainly good things I've been hearing. Looks like I might have to do it one day this week after work. All feedback is welcome

I can't believe a tire shop told you that, are they new tires? If so they can get more that will balance easier, I have done 100's of them in the past and did just that.

If not new just keep the weights on them till their ok and do balance, tell them its an Off-Road Jeep anyway and that you understand the problems. You do have a steel wheel don't you?

I run a 33x12:50x15" on a Cragar Soft Eight with a lot of weigh's on the tires also. I do not have beadlocks but drop psi. down to 15 psi. all the time on the trails. Even then all that's ever happened was that I lost a wheel weight off of one tire in the rocks, No Big Deal! as I had several different sizes with me and was easy to see the size left on the sidewall of the tire, hammered one back on and away I went.

You can try calling a Tractor or Semi-truck shop, That's where I have had to get mine balanced.

I have aluminum Eagle Alloy rims. I told them to balance it anyway, they would not even attempt it, Brand new tires.

I understand now that you have alloy rims and not steel ones why they wouldn't mount them.

All shops have touch less machines. There is no reason they won't mount tires unless the wheel is cracked or tires dot date stamp is 6+ years old

Equiil works too. And isn't as messy. Just need a little funnel and can pour into the valve stem with the valve removed.

Sorry, but what is equill?

this stuff. iTs like Dyna beads http://www.innovativebalancing.com/index.php

That's what they used in my tires. Works great
