Where are you working on this? I should have my tools down here after this weekend(including the tube bender, press w/ dimple dies, and sheet metal brake) if you need any help w/ anything.
92 Toyota pickup, 5VZFE, SAS, 30 splines, football cover, spooled and welded, 4.10s, SOS prototype rear disc brake conversion, soon to be Maryland inspected
IF you can mount them yourself (they're a bitch, the sidewalls are ubber thick) you can throw some airsoft bb's in them, I am running 37x14.5 Iroks with a pound of bb's in each and they are fine at all speeds. I tried lead shot and I dont think they work as well. Takes too much centrifugal force to get them to go where they need to go to balance them. I guess you could hand the tire shop guy bags of bb's and tell him to put them in the tire.

sorry to go off topic for a post stinson, but that really works ok miller? I've heard yes, I've heard no, but I've always had my doubts. my 35s need to be rebalanced and I might like to try airsoft this time around.

Mine are balanced with BBs. Seems fine to me but my ties also never had weights surrounding more then half a wheel
