Tire balancing

[Jmaxx1502]

Guys got back from my first ride this weekend. Got to say I love this thing. Well besides the damn rattling doors and power loss on top end (was expecting that with 32’s). But I noticed on the high speed stuff say 65+On multi gauge which is actually close to 75mph I think the tires were starting to shake. Can I balance them for these conditions? Sealant/balancer (Ride on) was suggested.thx

Really?

Any tire shop should be able to balance them.

I personally wouldn’t use any type of slimy product inside the tires to “balance” them.

If you really want to go that fast on a road, id get a set of LT/MT tires or an LT tire of your choice and a good rim and see how that goes? If that dosnt help, get them balanced. UTV tires are made differently and would most likely take alot of weight to balance them and even then might not get the Satisfaction you’re looking for. I have LT tires on my pioneer and if you line up the dots on the tire with your valve stem they’re actually pretty balanced without weights when you get up to a higher speed on a paved road. And I don’t do that very often at all. 99% on trail

I usually don't chime in on topics like this...but be advised, stock tires are not of a very good grade or quality and are defiantly not made for speed, which equals heat, which equals blowout. Yes I've done it as well, just saying you are playing with your life!
Don't do that with loved ones in the buggy with you. Get some DOT rated tires if you like speed or are on any kind of road very often.

The tires are system 3 370’s in 32” on bead locks. The roads are flat dirt roads not pavement. Basically farm roads. I called 4 tire places they can’t balance wheels due to center bore size. And yes I like to haul azz. I’ll get some DOT tires after these wear out.

Also wear in my post did I say pavement or stock tires?

 

[HondaRed16]

Didn’t mean to upset; I’m Not judging man, we’ve all done it and continue to do it, as I said I have for sure 😊

The point I was making is...if they’re not DOT rated (yours may be) they are not made for speed and the sidewalls are soft making them very easy for blowout & more importantly rollover.

Peace to all,

I'm running 15" light truck tires on 15" wheels. 75% of the time I'm on pavement. I also have SATV a-arms. Took the buggy to a local tire shop and they machine aligned the front end and balanced the tires. They are wearing perfectly, and don't shake at any speed.

Put half bag of balancing beads in each tire. See if that helps. Check with local commercial tire shops for bag of beads.

 

[Jmaxx1502]

I was thinking about that. I have the system 3 bead locks and was wondering how many times can these cast wheels outside bead lock rings be taken off before they start to strip out? Was told they aren’t that durable? Also no problem to above post. I understand your just trying to help out👍

Check another tire shop, these things can be balanced and mine are already, worst of them took close to 5 oz least took 3.25. It can be done and you will appreciate it. 32 10 15 tusk terrabites on stock wheels

What will be interesting is to see if that balance lasts 5,000 miles like a truck, or if it’s something that will require a rebalance every 500 miles....🤔

Please report back in time on how it goes. 👍

 

[Lilred02]

Will do, I actually did the balancing myself and did stick on weights in case they do need to be adjusted so i dont ding the rim up. All weights on the inside of the wheel and Im running 4 rear wheels all the way around. Sometimes its good to stay friends with the people who bought your dads shop

Well guys thanks for all the help. I found a shop that would try to balance them. We put them on the balancer and man are these tires out of round. I mean bad. So waste of time to try and balance. Thanks for the reply’s. What’s a good m/t 32” DOT tire

Yeah that’s a UTV tire for you.
I run The Achilles desert hawk mud terrain LT tires. I like them. There’s so many LT tires that are mud terrain to choose from it’s just a preference I think at this point
