The only thing I've heard on putting the balancing beads in the tire is the potential for getting the beads in the rim seal and causing slow leaks.

I was able to have my last tires spin balanced at a local truck tire place and that worked out ok.
They used the stick on metal weights and they looked a little tacky on the rim (aluminum rims on former MH)

I installed Centra-matic balancers on my front tires and am very happy with the results. I plan on installing a set on the rear later on this season.
