Just got some 4 inch wide sander wheels and 28 inch M/T sportsman front tires.went to static balance and its 6 ozs off.I'm only adding stick-on weights to the inside of these wheels.anybody have any experience with the bag of beads for balancing a tire like this.seen it in semi tires but not the situation that I have.

We've experienced the same need for 6-7 ounces. Stay with conventional balancing with the stick-on weights.

No direct experience with your situation but I do use Dynabeads and am happy with them.

Have you tried breaking the tire down & moving it a half turn on the rim? Sometimes it helps if the out of balance of tire and wheel are “stacking up”.

M/T Sportsman front runners are (IMO) junk. Always take a lot of weight, are a very hard rubber tire and they dryrot between the tread quick. The M/T Sportsman Radials are way overpriced. Find something else. I run a 165R15 radial without an issue.

That is waaay too much weight. Either the tires have been stored/stacked incorrectly or the wheels may be buckled/kinked. I’d check dynamic balance to see how true the wheels run. Turning the tire on the rim may reduce the weight required but 16oz is huge. Sometimes we spin the wheel on the balancer without the tire to narrow down the problem. Hope this helps.

I believe he said 6 oz.

����*♂️D’oh! 6oz is still a heap though. A BFG All Terrain will take that much and they’re notoriously hard to balance.

My moroso dragway specials took that much static balanced , but a 7.10 15 almost 28". That was on brand new wheels also. Really disapointed for what they cost. Ive had them in 2 or 3 spots and no better. There is a vertical runout, not side to side.

Find a shop that has a balancer capable of “match” balancing. It essentially finds the perfect spot for the tire to be mounted and you’ll be surprised, that 6oz will drop Significantly. Just thought I’d mention it.
