How much did it cost for the mount and balance?

Will be getting 33's in the next month and was thinking about these. Seems a lot safer for off roading and risking losing a weight or weights and having to wobble home

Mounting and balancing was $80 total ($16/tire).

Pic up some airsoft BB's.

I tried the smaller Dyna beads and had bad luck.
The smaller beads would get stuck and not spread out inside the tire.

DB offers a bigger "off road" bead I should of went with.

Cost is around $100. Many folks have had good luck with the BB's.

Is road force balancing the same as static balancing? I've heard both terms used and would like some clarification.

No roadforce is dynamic balancing

I'm using Dynabeads on my 35" Trail Grapplers and haven't had any issues, but they are somewhat pricey compared to airsoft BB's
