What method are you guys using to balance your off road tires? I've read to use either beads or the road force balance machine. I have 35x12.50x20 trail graps going on 20x10's. Any opinions?

+1 road force. But I have been forced to use regular balancing methods in the past and still had good luck with that. Up to 35" tires that is.

Called two local places today that have Road Force machines. Both said they weren't sure if they can handle my size of tires. Both places were $35 per tire, ouch. I'll try some other places on Monday, like discount tire or tire rack since its not too far from here.

Called a few more local places and they said that road force balancing won't do a thing for bigger tires like mine. I told them I want to do it anyways, they said they'd try. $20 a tire at Discount Tire. I'll give it a shot.
