wonder if the air soft bb's would melt in racing applications though.

Also a concern of mine, I just cant imagine this would work in every application. I mean hitting the twisties would cause a lot of lateral G's as well as the consistant rotation force. Seems like that might cause turbulence in the tire. Maybe I'll try it on my pickup first...

Another old trick is lead 'shot' for shotguns...

Or you could use Copper BB's.


Not an uncommon old trick (especially for 4x4's with super swampers).
