Skip the weights and run dyna beads. No more weights to lose.

I have never tried them, but reviews seem to make effectiveness questionable.

There was a thread on this awhile ago where I told my experience at Costco. They do not clean wheels before applying weights. In fact they are not allowed to have cleaners in the shop. After a failed install of weights, I cleaned my wheels my self and took them back for re-balancing. I then put duct tape of the weights as a second measure.

They have ran them in large tires for years. My dad was a diesel mechanic and told me about it years ago when I was trying to get some large tires to balance on my lifted truck. I run them in my motorcycles and it made a HUGE difference the first time I used them. Had a V Rod and would get bad wobbles at around 90, with the beads I could easily hit 120+.

From what I gather they work well for vertical imbalance but are ineffective for lateral imbalance. Big truck tires need them as you could not put enough weight on the wheels. I can see where they would work for motorcycle tires as well since the tires are relatively skinny compared to the overall height. They are kind of like a Philips head screw driver, they work really well on the screws for which they were designed, but don't work on all screws.
