I used this chart. I put 8 oz. of airsoft BB in each of my 34x10.50x15 superswamer LTB. Amazing difference. Will never jack around with weights again .http://dynabeads.net/index.php?pr=Oversize_Chart

have the tire shop rotate your tire on the rim about halfway or so then rebalance, this way if your rim and tire are out of balance on the same side your evening it out. also have them check the tire to make sure you dont have a broken belt. you shouldnt have that much weight on it. is wheel bent???? balance the wheel with a hub bolted to it and not just the clamp they use to attach it to the machine. makes a huge difference if you are running a big tire...
been there, done that with big tires.

so you do have the big tires on it. make sure they bolt a hub to it before putting it on the tire balancer, the normal clamshell attachment allows the bigger tires to move around while on the machine, makes a much better balance with the hub, they may also be able to do a roadforce balance.. ask them to step up when they balance it.

I used bb's to balance my 36" tsl bias ply tires. I forget how much I used, I'd like to say it was around 9oz in each tire. They ride smoother than my km2's on my daily driver do at 50-60. I know 4 wheel parts tried to use a powder to balance them and that didn't do **** for them.
They use this method more and more on tractor trailers. The way I've seen it hey don't put the beads in the tire. They ran a plate behind the tire. Worked great!
