Counteract451-00216 Bag (Tire Balancing Beads, 16 oz)

I just put new 37" rough terrain wheels on my truck. Not many, actually none that I know of right now, can balance 37" tires. Most places I have checked state their equipment can only handle up to 35" tires. These beads seem to work very well at balancing my tires.

I used these on a street bike maybe on my truck later unless u need a bottle witch I highly recommend if your putting them thru the valve stem you can get just the beads in like 12oz is what I got have to weigh them but I couldn't find the bottle I got with the last order tried to make one with a visine bottle and a hose just buy a bottle if you need one these things work great fast shipping and cheap thank you who ever invented these

I mount my own tires, and have been using this or similar products for years. I buy the heavy bag and split it to weight set per wheel. Place in fold over sandwich bags and toss into tire before setting beads. Bag opens when tire sets and distributes perfectly.

This product is easy to use and works quite well. The only real issue I had with it was the total weight of the bag of beads (including the bag itself!) was just over 11 ounces, meaning I was shorted over an ounce of beads. Granted, I am using these for motorcycle tires, so the total weight wasn't that big of an issue, but I was still disappointed with that issue. At the purchase price v typical packages, and the fact that I can easily still do at least 2 more sets of motorcycle tires with the remainder, I'll easily take the hit.Now, I don't simply go by the normal 1oz front 2oz rear, and usually add 20 or so percent to the mix mainly because I have had some tires with terrible weight issues in the past, and have found it better to be safe than sorry. My install process is a little different than the norm as well. I get the first tire bead to pop on the rim, then deflate and loosen the 2nd bead from the rim. I then funnel the weighed out beads into the tire making sure no product is left on the tire bead/ sealing surface. I then inflate & pop the 2nd bead in place with the first bead down, set to the proper pressure, and mount to the bike. Simple and efficient. To date I haven't had any balance issues, since they don't affect low speed balance (not enough centripetal force to feel unbalance) and will automatically reset themselves to any changes in vibrational imbalances at all other speeds in real time, making them quite superior to any static balancing, including 'dynamic' which is really only truly balanced to one small speed range.

I did a lot of homework before purchasing and I found lots of good and bad reviews. After installing these beads, I am sold. Instant and very noticeable impact. My bounce and wobble ALL disappeared! They are 40's and I was sure that some of the vibration was from the suspension and big, big tires, but it ALL Disappeared. I can only assume that all of the negative or uncertain reviews likely did not use enough weight. The chart I saw said 40's need 12oz+ and I went with the 16oz because I could not find a 14oz. I've since upgraded to beadlocks, and I did not hesitate to purchase more beads and install the. The shop I took the beadlocks to did not install the beads even though I had them there and instructed that they be used, the message was not passed on to the individual who actually installed the beadlocks. So, I installed them through the valve stem. It was a HUGE pain in the butt, and kept clogging in the tube. I ended up using some hair clippers to vibrate the tube to move things a long. It still took a very long time to install them this way. It's not so easy to pop the bead on beadlocks if you are not familiar with them, and most shops will not touch beadlocks, and I was not very excited about popping the rings off of 5 of them and reinstall, so I opted to install through the valve stem. Not sure what I will opt for next time.

If you can get this product for a decent price it is well worth it. Charts for use can be found online.

First, mine came double bagged. Printed outside and product bag inside. I’m sure so manufacture can use same outside packaging for different weight offerings. Bonus is if outside bag gets a hole beads aren’t lost.I divided mine up into 2oz and 1oz increments and put in small marked zip locks for future tire replacements. 2oz front motorcycle and 3 oz for rears. Much cheaper this way in bulk then at local shop for doing a tire.

Not sure if they work any better than the cheaper stuff sold at Amazon.

Good product good price
