Anyone use the balancing beads over wheel weights?

Having an issue with balancing my 37” Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Shop says high road force is the issue.

Someone else told me to try the balancing beads instead of weights. Anyone have experience with them?

For 37’s no way not needed. Maybe 40’s but ive seen many sets of ridge graps balance out just fine. That tire at 37 is heavy af though. Probably 95 lbs per corner at least.

Got rid of ridge grapplers and KM3’s for this reason. No matter what I tried the damn things never balanced. Even with the beads. Drove me insane.

I have used this Ride-on stuff for over a decade on all my Harley's. Works great. Haven't tried it on the truck yet but they make it for trucks as well. Might be worth a try if you are havent balancing issues. Self adjusts with wear similiar theory as the beads.

Warranty should cover too much road force, and replace them?

I have used the balance beads with 35s. They was fine at first but in the long run they break apart. if you plan on airing down tires good luck the beads get stuck in the air stems and airing down is super slow. I would not recommend at all.

It also sounds really silly when your 80k truck comes to a stop and you just hear the soothing sound of rain coming from your front tires as all the beads stop and fall on your rim.

F those balance bags. Go with Wheel weights all day long. Even the little stick on ones are better than those p.o.s bags

Put heavy ass E-load LT tires on it, gotta deal w/ repercussions, is what it is, a lot of people fail to realize Ford did a lil trickery w/ the 35”/37” tire stuff by tapping BFG to make a Raptor specific compound tire for both sizes that are “C load” & weigh significantly lighter than a standard BFG KO2 in the same exact size. You sacrifice a bit of ruggedness but mostly payload/tow rating….neither of which matter w/ a Raptor

On other hand I got a buddy w/ a modded F350 diesel that he regularly tows crazy heavy shit w/ (excavator/skid steer type loads) - thought he scored a deal on some KO2s on simple tire.com & wound up blowing em both out after a couple weeks - they were the raptor tires hahahahahjaa
