| Re: BB's in tires? 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. |

| 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.  |

| Re: BB's in tires? 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. 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? They add weight that sits directly on the ground. They are not annoying when they help you climb vertically!!!! |
