Anyone run beads or powder in their truck tires instead of weights.
Wheel Beads

Only in semi tires, We used Equal drop in bags depending on the size of the tire. Some drivers loved it & some hated it. We ended up buying a on the truck tire balancer for the steers & saved the bags for the drives.
Yah thats what I read too for semi tires I am thinking for 37" mud terrains.
I dont remember how many ounces we used but we did lots of mudder tires 40-44", Biggest complaint was on a long sweeping turn the powder would wad up on the sidewall & give one heck of a steering wheel shake.
37's should be no problem to balance on a newer balancer & give you a whole lot better ride. My Hunter has spun 40" Swampers without problem other than the pounds of weight needed to be added to the wheels, Tape-A-Weight & static balance. As my neighbor says "It will be fine"

Unless mabye I have a bent rim or some other problem but at around 90km/hr it shakes pretty good.
I've had powder in my 35"s for 4 years now, I would recommend getting them to dump the powder rather than just slicing the bag and throwing it in the tire. On occasion it seems to clump up in the cold but mostly no complaints and it looks better than weights.
If you have goodyear wranglers. I say god luck with balancing.
This could be possibly a driveshaft problem?
a buddy used golf balls in his 44" swampers
Got the powder in my 315 Toyo M/Ts and it seems to be fine. Little lumpy on cold mornings but smoths out quickly.
