    We use it in our over the road truck tires. Best One tire actually puts it in the tire when they mount em. They just soak it up from the tire with a sponge. Fix the tire and reinstall. It actually helps detect leaks alot better since it'll be a green puddle under the truck or coming from the...

    Who's running dynamic tire balancing beads?

    When it comes to beads its 14oz of weighted beads for a 395. Being that a 14.00 is slighly larger and takes 16oz. Antifreeze weights 9lbs per gallon with 18oz of weight per 16oz of fluid(1 pint) You are going to loose some on air up anyway so it's a close enough measurement
