Anyone know any shops in and around Los angeles that can do a tire this size? the place that mounted mine said they were too big for their machine.
 
there is a place down the street from my work, on gardena blvd, i dunno about balancing it with weights but i would reccomend balance bags, and i know they have them there. they cost more but you dont have to worry about tearing a weight off on a rock. plus they move inside the tire, so if you slightly bend a rim or tear some chunks out of the tread they still keep it balanced.

I used dynabeads when I did mine last,every time you stop and take off the tire is rebalanced !!!!!

you mean like air soft BB's?? if so my 33"s had them but i dunno, i though having weights inside the rim would be a better choice. Anywhere i can find how many BB's you need for 35's?

thanks again guys!
 
dynabeads are made for balancing tires,the beads have a coating so they don't break down over time.I've heard that air soft over time can turn to powder.I used 8oz per tire.

i see, where did you find these and how much they set you back?
 
Julio, how did those airsofts hold up? Did they turn to powder?
 
they were in tact when i pulled the tires. I left them in the tires when i sold them last night should have kept them. Dammit! you just used airsofts? if so i could just get them anywhere right? i dunno how to get them inside the tire without poppin ght bead off again. dont think they fit in the valve stem.
 
Just Airsofts. I bought them at WalMart. They wont fit in through the valve stem.

The containers you get at Wal Mart have 2000 in each container, thats the only reason why I use that amount (I also use the Glow in the dark ones just in case I get a side wall blow out at night I think it would be cool to watch:laugh:).....SANTA

Do it yourself...Get a plank(good one 2x6 36" long) and set it on the edge of the tire by the rim and drive slowly up on it to pop it ...I use a BFH to help it along..:D..
