Bagging???? truck tyers???

[18 stoner]

Very nice link Tom, I get it now. Took piccys to get me there though.

 

It appears there may be an initial wabble when setting off, but in itself is what balances the wheel.

 

Cheers for that Tom, many thanks.

No worries mate, i needed the pictures to lol. I will ask the chap i know with them when i next see him and ask how he is getting on. He takes his 110 all over the world so it gets a faribit of abuse!

i was told about this when i had a puncture fixed on my mog in my local KINGSWAY tyres

found this if this helps

The TYRE EQUIPMENT COMPANY Ltd EASY BALANCE Wheel Balancing Compound

 

Thanks Steve, that stuff really fits the "bagging" description that I was given

Think its called powder balancer, you must have a local firm that does HGV tyers or failling that look up a local mobile firm like the ones you see parked up behind lorrys on the motorway hard sholder.

would this prosses make any noticable difference on a unimog??genuinly curious.

I have a bit of mud in one of my tyres, from when a tyre came off the rim. In this cold weather it must freeze into a lump. It makes the mog undrivable at speeds above 30mph, due too the vibration. Once its thawed out its fine.

 

So I think enough of these beads will make a massive difference.

 

(Obviously I will be removing the mud from the tyre before I install the beads.)

Is a tyre coming off a regular thing dave?

I take it its from running at low pressure when in slimy conditions?

Would it be as bad idea to have a go with kiln dried sand?

 

I'm thinking - remove the valve from the tyre and pour in a 'certain' amount via funnel and tube; or deflate and push wall in on one side and chuck in.

Cost doing it this way would be max £6 for a bag of kiln dried sand.

 

Only problem is if it gets wet, like your mud Skyhuck - I don't know how water tight tyres on when at correct pressure - When changing them they always appear bone dry - if water could get in surely air could get out

 

Would water alone have the same effect? - D'oh! It'd freeze!

 

Sorry I'm just asking questions!!

No mate only once in the 7 years I've had this mog.

 

I was already well bogged when I let them down, so it was hard to see how soft they were getting and I just let too much out of that one.

Moisture may get in from the air line when inflating.

 

I think the beads would be less likely to be affected by tiny amounts of moisture, than sand.
