Airsoft BBs installed today, wow... smooooth

[RF_Burns]

I had a thread about the Centramatic wheel balancers which have great reviews on-line but are expensive. Ken Burton and Ken Henderson promoted the
Airsoft beads rather than the more expensive commercially available balancing beads.

So today I spent $14.99 + tax, less my Canadian Tire credits = ~ $10.00 on some Colt 0.20g polished airsoft BBs. I tried to break the bead myself,
but after an hour on the first one, I took the last 5 wheels to a local garage who did it for FREE while I waited!

I installed 4oz in each tire, re-installed then went for a road test... and WOW! I brought it up to 70mph on the speedometer (which is really
75+mph)and not a hint of vibration! I've had CounterAct beads in the past but they were never this smooth.

Thanks To KenB and KenH for promoting the Airsoft beads, they work wonderful!!

Bruce,
You can add Ken Frey to the list of Kens that recommend them. He added them to my tires 7 years a go and they run as smooth as glass. Yikes, 7 years
ago, time to replace tires?

I guess that makes if official (and dooms them): The KKK approves Airsoft
Beads.

No worries KenH, I'll be promoting them too so that makes it KKKB approved.

These are the ones I used and still have about 1/3 bottle left over.

I wonder if you could use paint balls... This way if you get a tire puncture, you'll have an indicator of where the hole is... :d
