i personaly havnt done it with bbs but i have used sand in mine and it does work well i used a cup of sand in each tire mine were 35/16/15 boggers and ive done it to truck tires also

I was skeptical to try them at first, but they work great, Ive never had any issues with em. Ive used them in all the tires Ive had 33s or bigger. Im running the BBs now in the 35s on my DD.
When in doubt, throttle out!

Think there referring to using actual airsoft or metal BBs out of a BB gun.  For about 40bux u can use real beads meant for it.

Use a pint to a quart of chloride from tractor supply for big tractors..

Or use Shot gun lead BBs they are heavier

Balancing sand. For big trucks, a paint cap full(one bag will do all four tires) 15 bux

if you find a truck shop they have large enough spin balencers so you could use pound on weights like on a small tire. or use balancing beads which could be bought at most tire shops.. My experience bb's, golfs balls, and beads etc. damages the inside of the tire.
BUDGET BOGGER$

that never really works tho, i was wondering if the bags, sand, bb's whatever can get rid of the bias wobble? love big tires, hate the first couple miles of the drive when the swampers seem square
