Not sure how many bb's there are for 8oz but I think it's possible to take your valve stem core out and roll all the bb's in through the valve stem through a straw or something

I run them in my 32's and they are great
Somewhat related to this, anyone have experience with the disk you mount between the rotor/ drum and wheel?

I'm running 8 oz of dynabeads and 8 oz of antifreeze in my federals. Got the dynabeads when they started wearing crazy as hell, but didnt get enough, so added the antifreeze and and they wore back round. Never had a problem out of mine, however at around 100 mph they loose balance. But i seriously doubt you'll be going that fast.. I wont be putting wheel weights in my new tires, i'll be using strictly dynabeads.

Yes, but only on commercial tractor trailers.

They certainly worked well on the truck. Seems a lot of folks on here like em. Haven't seen a negative comment.

had them on my cherokee for first month after buying it ( came with my cherokee) and they did absolutely nothing. however it does keep brake dust down from rim face lol
however im unsure if they were a cheap nock off or what quadratec sells.

lol I lose balance at 30 and have thrown 4 of the 6 weights that were on my swampers when i got them. They run smoother without the weights on them

iv been running 7oz of bb's and 1oz of antifreeze for over a year now and iv never had a problem. i changed rims back a few months ago and there was no sign of damage what so ever.

Just remember tho, if you use antifreeze... be prepared for the tire shop that takes that tire off to be PISSED about getting liquid on their pants.. Found that out first hand. I'll probably be using airsoft BB's over the dynabeads this time around. Just seems like they would move around better in the tire when i think about it.
