[QUOTE="whoisbigman, post: 805808, member: 13259"] I have used "sand bags" on dozens of sets of tires and they work great. I have them in my 37s now. They work best on larger tires because larger tires usually require more weights than smaller tires so unless you want a big hunk of lead on your 49' Iroks, you use media bags. When they first came out, we would put the whole bag, unopened, in the tire. After several miles, the bag would open and disintegrate. But those first few miles would be rough. Now I tear the bags open and just put in the media. The only problems you should have with the media, if the right amount was installed and the bags were opened, is sometimes when you hit a large bump or rut, it will disrupt the media and your tire will be out of balance momentarily. This would be annoying on woops or off road, but on the street, the tires should ride awesome.[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR]The truck in my sig has 20" of lift and 46" Mickey Thompsons with media bags in them. It drives straight, smooth, and has no problems at any speed and I've gone 80 on the highway. [/QUOTE]
