balancing powder ?

[zeros]

i was looking into getting the cooper stt tires 37 . 12.50 17 . and the guy at the place said something about using powder in the tires to balance them instead of weights anyone ever used that.. or is that a bad idea? thanks!

Yes the Columbians like to do that with their tires and say it works great...

i just got my 40" x 17" installed and they said they put bag things in there. kinda weird but no weights and the feel great.

I have those tires, and used the powder and it works great.
