I can mount 44's on the tire machine at work and can balance up to a 38, but when you get into tires that big they take a lot of weight, I would look into the "magic bags" they seem to work pretty good for big tires

Mount em up yourself and put magic bags in them, one per tire and your good to go, when you mount them just toss the bag in and over time the bag will break down to nothing, they do it to semi tires everyday

So Do I......just about everyday ...LOL !...expecially when my Tire A.D.D is kickin hard some weeks ...I'll change tires 3 times a week sometimes  ;D

I like airsoft BB's instead of the powder's ....personal preferance I guess

How many BB's  do you throw in? Do you do it by the amount or by weight?  
I know those balancing bags can get expensive if you need a lot of them, seems like airsoft BB's would be a cheap alternative
