Dyna beads are the way. Got them in stock ready to ship but they are much easier to install when a new tire is going on. Been running them for many years.

I've had dyna beads in my set of Michelin Commander IIs for almost 2K miles. 3oz per tire. Perfect balance every time.

If you have a spoke wheel put the beads inside the tube. Not fun getting them in a tube, but they work much better than weights.

And in my estimation, it also looks better without the weights.

You might also look at Ride On. It is a liquid/gel that will balance the tire/wheel and seal punctures as well. Depending on tire/wheel size is takes about 7-8 oz per wheel.

Dyna Beads have worked well for me, but was considering Ride On for the next tire change.

Dyna Beads on my 140mm up front, and my 200mm in the back, about 3200 miles with them so far, and i really like them.

However, if you try to install them with the wheels on the bike, it IS a bit of a pain in the butt..and they will fall everywhere. Don't ask me how I know
