[QUOTE="BAJASVT, post: 804852, member: 7663"] There's a method of balancing tires that uses a media inside the tire such as sand or pellets instead of weights attached to the wheel. The balancing media does not come in the tires, so if it's in your tire assembly it means that it was put there by whoever mounted them on the wheels. It's not unheard of for this method to be used with larger tires, but I've never heard of people having luck with it; I tried it once and it didn't work for me. I would take them back to have the sand removed and have them balanced conventionally. Good luck with those MTRs... I had a set on a truck which turned into multiple sets due to prorated warranty replacement from Goodyear because they kept shaking, wobbling, wouldn't balance, broken belts, etc. and finally sold them dirt cheap on Craigslist with the disclaimer that they were the worst tires I ever owned. This is possibly why your tire shop attempted to balance them with sand. [/QUOTE]
