Default Internal Balancing

Curious to know people's thoughts on internal balancing in tires. I had this done on recently installed new tires. Sounds like a good concept.

I used ride on tire sealant for years in my chopper. Ride on tells you how much more to add if you what to balance the tires. Also used those beads one time they worked fine, could not tell the difference from a bike with wheel weights. And the tires wore down even no problems

Ride on works, but it makes a righteous mess on the rim, hard to clean off and can corrode mag's. Some shops add an extra hour labor when they find it. Going to the beads on both my bikes.

I’ve used non-biodegradable air soft BB’s for years. 2 ounces in front and rear, works like a champ.
