Tire Balancing

<< < (2/2)

kirksjeep:
What happens when you pop a bead?  Sounds like a lot of stuff to pick up. 

I run 15x8 rims with 12.50 wide rim which protects the rims and the weights. 

Flex:
Not to sound like a smart a$$ but gravity will keep the beads in and if u loose a few not a big deal.

lancer8xt:
So you guys just throw some airsoft BB's in your tire and it balances it right out?  Do you just bring a handful of them up to the guy at the tire shop instead of having him balance it for you with wheel weights?   

I need to unmount my stock tire and remount my fullsize spare, and it sure would be nice to just get it on the rim and not have to worry about paying extra to get it balanced.  I think my friend has a bead breaker so i can even unmount it myself.  Anyone know of a place that will mount a tire for cheap, and anyone need a 30" Wranger GS-A?

If you are going to the meeting, bring the spare and I will get it changed out for you and balanced.
