I have the worst tires known to man, unfortunately I’m a cheap [censored] so I still have 20,000-30,000 miles of use in these damn things. I balance and rotate religiously at 5,000 miles but these tires are needing every 3,000 for a new balance. Because I don’t have time to waste sitting at a tire shop every month, I am looking into internal Balance beads or Centramatic balancers. Has anybody used these before? https://www.centramatic.com/balancers.rhtml

Judd screwed you on this deal so go do a burn out in his driveway and melt them down. Do not ever listen to him when it comes to tires again and eat the bullet on better tires this time. That truck is deleted so I want a burnout that 1320 should have covered

I have never personally used any of the internal balancing garbage, but I have replaced some. I have ran several sets of different brand mud tires that needed a balance every 3-4k on several different trucks, or you ain't drinking coffee on the road. On my diesel truck, the Nitto mudders or Mastercraft mudders have been excellent. I balance & rotate my tires at every oil change, which is 5k. Always a smooth ride on the highway. How old are your shocks?

How old are your shocks? I ran internal weights when I had 39.5x19 Boggers, they seemed to work well but that truck never saw more than 65mph. Being biasply and that tread pattern, I never really knew if they were out of balance, flat spots, or about to fall off the truck

We used them at work for a few years on the tractors
Drivers stopped complaining about a vibration at 60mph

Toyo Open Country MT's, true mud tires, I run 35's on a lifted truck as well as some of my buddies, never have issue balancing them. I only drive mostly city and still got 54,000 miles out of mine, my buddy drives a lot of highway and gets 65,000 miles out of his. They are not the cheapest but are not as loud as others, run true, and last a long time.

Rather plain & simple - never go cheap on foundations, shoes or tires.
Why would you have a need for such big tires? More rubber & more surface area just means more to go wrong.

Static balancing is a bad idea. ok for trailer tires but not a vehicle. the only way to get them true is by dynamically balancing them.

But I'm sure if Judd had been along he'd had thrown gas on it.

I bought a set of Cooper AT's from walmart. Got 22,000 miles on them. No abnormal wear and they are as quiet and smooth as they have ever been. I rotated them once at 10,000 miles so far at home in my driveway. Have never re balanced them. Have never had a tire rebalanced though.

If you have alot of tread to go, look for a place with a Roadforce Tire Balancer. I have a pair Ridge Grapplers on my Rebel that are problematic, did 40K on my Mega with a set, no problems.

This post is HILARIOUS!!!! The reason dumbasses tires won't stay in balance is because he can't stop hitting [censored] on the highway What was it last week a bag of sacrete? He calls me two weeks after I buy Terra Ridge Grapplers and I tell him thus far I like them...it rained like a week or two later and I called him and said don't do it these things are like ice on a wet road. He proceeds to tell me that I was too late and yes, they do suck in the rain. Decent tires otherwise and I really think we got a bad batch, I've asked a bunch of folks who I've seen running them and no one has had the same experience BP and I have. Very strange... Oh and if I went to the mountains with Bobo I'm sure I wouldn't have poured gas on it because I would've still been curled up in a ball in the floorboard when it caught fire, still traumatized from all the stuff Bobo ran over to get us there. He and BP complaining about tires are laughable at best. Nice too see ole Rooster Turkey and Royal were in the white claws last nite. Y'all are awesome...thanks for the humpday laugh.
