I'm nigh on to being convinced. I have 5 new tubes to install shortly. Any info on lead shot success & quantities for 6.00 x 16 size? Bill W.
Bill, I never cared for them. We did a police vehicle fleet test on police crusier's when I worked for Fairfax County here in Nor Va. Everytime the cruiser stopped, the wheels had to re-balance themselves. Not good when the officer had to go code 3 from a stop light. NASCAR guys use them [DynaBeads] to keep from throwing lead off their wheels at 200 mph. They are at a constant speed (no stop & go) and probaly worked OK for that applacation
