Question on balance beads

After I got my new KM2's I decided to try air-soft BB's for balance to avoid lead weights. After using them for awhile I have noticed they do pretty good up to about 60-65 then vibrate around 70mph. Also on some roads they ride smooth at 60mph but others it will vibrate and I have a little shimmy. My question is I'm using 6oz in each tire, should I or will it help to add another ounce per tire or do I need to just go back to lead? I want to make this work if I can. Thanks

That's kind of what I was wanting to know. I went with the 6oz from reading on dynabeads website that was their amount for 31's but in reading it also says that too much will not hurt it they will just even out themselves. I wanted to ask before buying a new box of them also cause I don't have enough left over from the first time.
