I used a gallon of half antifreeze and water to balance my tires. I seems to work good. I have gone 70 mph with the truck. Traditional balancing sand clumps up, clogs valve stems and will get stuck between the bead lock and rims. I think balancing beads would work well, but they are expensive in the amounts needed to balance these tires.

I would LOVE some beadlocks if any of you guys are going to any of the shows this year, please let me know, I will grab them there or have someone i know grab them. TIA.
I got bored today and decided to pull my one brake apart to see why it was having a hard time spinning. It was just a little rust. I did a video of how I get the tires on by myself.
My truck is sitting on soft ground at the moment so doing that I just dig into the ground with the prybar. The avatar reads: "White rednecks throwing up gang signs is about as cool as getting socks for christmas" " Gang Signs? Spock is in a gang?"

Question do I have to put the rubber bead lock in the tire at all, if I don't want to run bead locks?
If I don't add the bead lock is the tire more likely to brake bead in a cornering or turning aspect?

The bead on these tires is so big and tight, I would worry about getting the bead to fully seat with out bead locks in place. Plus you can air the tire all the way down with bead locks and not worry about the tire spinning on the rim or the bead from coming undone. I was worried about cornering on such a tall tire, but I can take off ramps with out slowing down much.
