balancing my tires with airsoft bb's?

[Damnyankee]

For guys running beadlocks, do the pellets help still?

yes, DIY beadlocks to boot.

2000 in each tire. (airsoft)

I don't recommend using lead or other copper type BBs

Beautiful.

Now I just need a way to break the bead.....Hmmmmmm

(Id rather not pay someone to do it if I could find a way?)

I'm running airsoft heavy pellets in my 33's as well. They work fine but will not correct for lateral vs. radial imbalance.

Hmmm, I guess I didnt think of that. Does it work pretty well?

yes. just put the base right next to the bead on the tire, and the jacking end underneath your bumper. jack up, separate bead.

Make sure the tire is empty first :haha:

something like that :haha: smaller scales are more accurate usually. But you need the capacity. I have a really nice backlit scale with a Kilo capacity. accurate to .001 of a gram as well
