Anyone using the match grade airsoft BB's in lieu of the Dynabeads?
Saw the airsoft BB's at our last gun show. MUCH less expensive than the Dynabeads.
Example: (of course you would not need this many)

I may be interested in something like this. Some have reported problems with Dyna Beads fouling their valve cores. Yes, filtered valve cores are available, but it seems as if they will not fit in my aftermarket valve stems (82-degree type).
Hmm.....0.28 gram BBs......that's about 100 BB's per ounce. 4000 BB's for twenty bucks.....that should treat about 20 tires, or about a buck a tire. Installation of these 6 mm diameter beads is not a problem for those of us brain-damaged enough to change our own tires.
Note that some other common weights for these 6 mm BBs include 0.12g and 0.20g. Assuming you put 2 oz. of BBs in a tire, that means you will need about 200 of the 0.28g, about 280 of the 0.20g, or about 470 of the 0.12g BBs for each tire.
I'm assuming that more BBs is better for better balancing (more "fine-tuning," if you will).
There is little doubt in my mind that the physics behind Dyna Beads is valid. My main concern about these plastic BBs is their resistance to structural breakdown. Geez. I'd probably try steel BB-gun BBs (think Daisy Red Ryder), but I've seen those get rusty when exposed to moisture.
Questions: How durable are these plastic BBs? Is one weight typically more durable than another? Has anyone tried these in their tires?
TIA!
