If they are radials just balance them normally. If they are bias ply then consider pellets or the like. But you should have no issues with radials.
they will be radials, right now i have some 35" Bias plys going to go on it as soon as the motor is finished... stupid money thing and no work for the last week... hope its done in time for snow!!!!!!!
which would you try first pellets or antifreze?

You can pump the antifreeze in by letting all the air out and pumping/squirting it in with the hose from a can of stop leak. The reason for AF instead of water isn't just freezing. It keeps the rims from corroding from the inside out too!

That depends on the wheels. Aluminum can get eaten up by pure antifreeze.

Supposedly not red antifreeze labelled as AL safe.

I'm trying to figure out why you think 37's require some "other" method of balancing?
Discount Tire is able to balance my 42" kevlars just fine using normal weights. I was even able to get a set of 42" IROC bias plys balanced out to some degree - enough to drive it long distances on the hwy.
37's are much smaller and shouldn't require any type of special balancing. If they do, something is wrong with the tire and they should be replaced under warranty.
well im not going to be buying new tires for a couple years, i wish i could... but the reason for wanting internal balancing is if i decide to go rock crawling and rip a side lug off or something since its balanced from the inside it will go to the cut off lug and make up the difference there
i hope thats not too confusing
i had a set of 33" tsl that les schwab, commercial tire, and even walmart said they wouldn't do it, so i sold them on CL:)

I've drove my rig on 42's all over the country without issue. Ripped tires with plugs in them, leaking air 'cause the beads were torn up, etc. All was fine.
okay thank you! i hate tire people anyways, shouldn't have trusted them lol
thank you for letting me know... ill just go over to mexico(right across the river we have a mini mexico)and have them balance them with their fancy stolen machine lol jk!
