I've used golf balls. When I was an owner op I threw 3 in each tire. As funny as it may sound I recomend using a good name brand ball. Titlest or something well known. Some people throw 5 of those bouncy rubber balls like the kind you would get from a gumball machine. Ofcourse you can get the Sensormatic's but they arn't cheap.

Liquid is generally used in OFF ROAD equipment tires for traction and less air pressure.
Weights applied at the time wheels are balanced are great till one hits some ruts and such.
Using the same size tires (for uniformity) helps also having the Frame Aligned as well as keeping the proper AIR pressures.

There are a few things being used to help with Tire/Wheel balance like Powders, as mentioned Golf Balls, other Balls, Centra-matic which as stated ain't cheap yet IS effective.

Cheap tires cannot be balanced, so spend a little now or a lot soon.
