Might have to be balancing beads!
The second tyre bay only managed to balance two of the five wheels and tyres, the other three would have required more weights than they could physically attach to the wheels?! I'll get a second opinion from a mate though next week...
So the two that they did manage to balance will have to go on the front, obviously...
Even inflated the tyres are still only 9" wide, which is great for my application, i.e. on the little Jimny, but I'd be a bit peeved if I had a bigger 4x4 and my 275 tyres (therefore should be 11") measured 9" wide...
So I'm not impressed with Black Star remoulds so far...

Dyna Beads Website wrote: Dyna Beads dynamically balance tyre wheel combination that are within manufacturers build tolerances. Dyna Beads are not designed to balance tyre wheel combinations which are badly moulded (can happen with BFG's), rims which are buckled etc. Dyna Beads is not a magic white potion in a bottle. Dyna Beads does not cure badly adjusted wheel bearings, lifted vehicles with incorrect camber ( standard Mitsubishi wishbone used with a lift for example) shagged track rod ends, steering boxes & bent chassis!

Thanks, Dave 
Very ingenious...do we know anyone on here who actually has them fitted?
Some constructive feedback would be nice, and if they work as well as they're supposed to, there must be unlimited scope for their use among Jimny owners alone
