I saw this a while back when I was thinking about balancing beads. They have a calculator which may give you an idea. While they may all be, these are the only ones I saw that mentioned being TPMS compatible. Never went further in research.

I started out with nothing & still have most of it left

Get balancing beads from www.devon4x4.com/wheels-tyres-and-access.../tyre-balancing.html and use their guide for what size bag at the bottom of the page.

Balance beads arrived last week from Devon 4x4 and got them fitted on Saturday. £28.13 delivered for 5.

Tyre place was a bit unsure and wanted to balance the wheels afterwards :laugh: dont think they had seen them before. They left the weights on the spare so ive pulled them off now.

Bit of a try out and they work brilliantly. Its the best its driven for a long time! made it up to about 65mph and was nice and smooth.

For reference the chart for my 31" tyres said to use the '150' packet per tyre. These weighed 132g in the packet. To fit them you pop the tyre bead and chuck the bag inside the packet into the tyre, bung the tyre back on and air up. couldn't be much easier :-) the bag looks like it contains small plastic pellets approx 2mm in diameter. some clear and some blue. No details about what is what, but they work well. Probably wise to get a spare bag for any unexpected tyre repairs.
