How small are they? Will they fall out while im changing the stale air in my tires for fresh? Will i need to replace them when i change the air in my tires? Do they get stale as well?

reminds me of those auto balancer for big trucks they used to sell.it was a plate with a tube welded around it like a ring with ball bearings inside that rolled around it as the wheel spun

this reminds me of the beads that i would have to clean out of the truck tires at work they just role around inside the tire to balance it the only time they would fall out of a tire is if you dismount it from the rim and they dont fit threw the valve stem

Maybe you could use mothballs and solve the stale air and be moth free too!

Isn't that Slime stuff supposed to do the same thing. But never change a Slimed tire and warn anyone changing a Slimed tire that stuff is in there.

The beads are interesting.

Maybe i ll put christmas tree air fresheners in my spokes, that way i get that cool sound and fresh air!:laugh:

I was a tire guy for 2 years and balancing big off road
type tires is nuts. 3m lbs of weight isnt out of the question. A guy came in with a full size blazer with 44's
and wanted them balanced, there were weights almost half way around the rim before I got the to balance. When the dude picked up his truck he started bitchin, no win situation.

Seems like a bucket of hogwash to me. The AmsOil folks used to sell something similar. I thought that was a scam as well.

Let me ask you this. What's the difference between these beads and a load of socks in a clothes washer? Why wouldn't these beads just move to the heaviest point which will also be the largest effective radius point?

I looked around the site and couldn't find the answer but the AmsOil folks used to admit that you still had to perform the regular spin balancing procedures and use their product in addition.

Hell if they were any good Billy Mays woulda been hawking them for years already.

My vote's for their being at best a waste and at worst a scam.

Who balances tires ?

Dude who did my tires said he put some beads in. I've pushed 'em over 100mph without noticing anything funny.
