Seems new MT tyres are generally favorable in this thread.

So why even consider balacing beads when it can be done properly with wheel balancing weights.
Even did it with my SilverStone Extremes. Works very well.

I've got Yoko Geolanders on mine they're the GO15 as opposed to the GO12s everyone here seems to use. (I couldn't get the GO12s but as far as I can tell these may suit my needs better as they are an 'all season' tyre).
I've been more than pleased with them; there's a bad negative camber bend on the way to work and one day I hurtled around it and to my horror saw there was a flood of deep water running across the road right on the bend - even with new tyres on I expected the worst, but instead I sailed through it quite happily.
It was certainly a big boost in my confidence with these tyres. As an ex biker I recall the days when we used to throw the standard fit Yokohamas away and fit Avons!


IF IT AINT BROKE, KEEP FIXING IT UNTIL IT IS

Try balancing beads, rather than airsoft BB's. I've had no issues at all.
