Ok, I've balaced thousands of tires and big tires use a lot of weights let alone with beadlocks, all mine get bags

Not really sure but it does, tractor trailers have been doing it for years, I've been doing it on the last 3 sets of tires without a problem

as the tires get up to speed (around 15 mph or so) the centrifugal force pushes the bb's to the inner tread of the tire, (kind of like how you can spin a bucket of water around and over your head without it spilling) the bb's are dispersed to the low parts of the tire where they are needed, because the low spots are the areas with the most "force"

8 is a little much for a 33, I have 37s and it only calls for 6

Lol kinda missed this, but another plus for using the beads is if your tires get warped like mine did from a missallignment, you can correct for it with more beads. I'm running around 6oz of dynabeads, and 8 oz of antifreeze per tire.
