Yup, thats what I did.

So I drove it into work today, approx 40-45 miles @ 75mph. It seemed to be doing alright. I'm still just not sure, I think my old tires felt smoother but like I said maybe it's because of the eneven tires in the rear? I guess until I get new tires on the rear I won't know for sure if I like these.

i used those beads on a set of 48 inch mud tires that someone had on their F250. This truck was so high we couldnt even bring it in the bays at the shop. He had a stock F250, then put on 8" body lift, and 12" suspension lift, then added twin 8 inch stacks, and 48" mud terrains. After the beads were used, it worked fine, they were as smooth as i guess they were gonna be. running 48" wheels is a bit insane as a DD, but he did any way

I've never heard of beads. I use Centramatic balancers. You might need more than 10 oz for the size tire you're running.

Well the dyna beads website (i have a different type but they look identical) said with 35/12.5/17 tires that i'd need 10 oz. of beads for each tire. But do you think maybe because the uneven wear that i'll need more beads?
