Finally got new B. F. Goodrich All Terrains on today. Used the ceramic balancing beads which are a pain to put in but the pinz runs so smooth its hard to believe. Wish I had done this sooner!

Where are you in Virginia and how many ounces of beads did you use per wheel?

I am in Gloucester, Va. near Yortown. With the size tires I used it called for 6 ounces. Go to innovative balancing website. It is very informative. What pinz do you have? I have a 710M.

Here's a second vote for Dyna Beads from Innovative Balancing. I have 8 oz of the off road beads in each tire. They are larger than the regular beads and have to be poured in when the tires are mounted. It's fast and easy but you can't add them later like the regular beads.

I use the beads from Inovative as well. ..and yes putting them in is a bit of a pain but they do make the ride so much better.
I have tubes in my tires as I got tired of continually airing up from the leaks that seem to plague these tubeless rims. Originally I don't think they were supposed to be tubeless, I could be wrong on that but I have fewer problems now.
