I tried 1.5 35mm film canisters in each tire and found it to be too much. I think that with a Clod too many bb's really hurts because you only have one motor driving the front axle. With a shaftie and dual motors you can get away with more bb's.
I plan to try one film cannister in each tire and see how that does.

Good luck!

Re: BB's in tires?
 

I had a pound of bb's in each tire and recently went to 2 pounds, which really proved to be too much. I am going back to one pound in the fronts and a half pound in the rear. My god.......it sounds like I'm ordering meat from a deli!!!!!!

One last note: I may ditch the Kongs in favor of the new KROCK tires. I can't wait to try them out to see if they are worth. I have big plans for change if they work well.

I am going to try the clod "D" tire when it's available. For know I am going to use narrowed clod tires. I am going to try the BB's.

so how you getting the bb's in and out of the tires if they are glued? other that breaking the glue bead.

Re: BB's in tires?
 

My bb tires are MGT's with only the inner bead glued to the rim. The tire fits tight enough that they do not slip even without glue, but I left it unglued so that I could experiment with the bb's. :wink:

Not that I am doing this every day to add and remove bb's but I just cut a very small slit into the tires tread, squeeze it open a bit and pour them in or out. Break out the IC-2000 and patch it up when done! Never had it tear back open.

Re: BB's in tires?
 

I use 1,658,492,023 bb's in my front tires and 45,822,576 bb's in my rear tires. :flipoff: :flipoff:

I am running low in my red rider bb gun so the rear tires might be getting a little lighter!

Re: BB's in tires?
 

what do bb's do to the tire? and dont they get annoying when they keep rolling around with the plastic or aluminum wheels

Re: BB's in tires?
 

They add weight that sits directly on the ground.

They are not annoying when they help you climb vertically!!!!

Has anyone tried using wheel weights. the stick on type? I'm going to try it tonight.
