We use this at work for truck tires and never had a problem. I think your tires would use 5oz each tire, It is a liquid that doesn't freeze and could be poured in through the stem.

...IDK if it's because walmart is always getting sued or what but, it seems them are always looking for a reason to refuse to touch tires...

I actually bought a set of tires at Wal-Mart once, Good Year Wrangler 235/75R15's, and they wouldn't mount them because they weren't the size listed on the door label. I think the label calls for 265/75R15, so I was going down in size (they were cheap and I needed new rubber BAD). I said, "So you can sell me whatever size tires I want, but you won't mount them unless they're the size the sticker calls for?" They said they sympathized, but due to the high number of lawsuits for various reasons, they couldn't do it. So I went somewhere else to have them mounted.

Where can I buy that stuff?

I would look for A tire shop that works on tractor semi-trailers they should have it or know where to get it.
We order it by the 55 gallon drum

I balanced my GMC's tires with BB's, as well as my trailer's tires. They ride better and smoother than the old ones that were on there.

Get a valve core stem remover tool and carefully take the core out. It'll unscrew like a normal bolt. This may or may not be enough room to get the BB's in there. It'll take a while, you'll need to put them in, one by single ****ing one. The heavier the BB, the less you'll have to do.

I used 9oz of BB's for a 265/75R16 tire and the 235/75R15 tires on my trailer, however, in all cases I had the tire broken off the bead.

If the BB's won't fit, get some play sand, heat it on the stove at low heat in a junkier pan to get the moisture out, and again measure out about 8-9oz on a scale. This will make it pour much easier too, and should accomplish much the same thing. Use a rolled up piece of paper with the end cut off as a funnel.
