- Do balancing beads void the warranty? Are balancing beads only meant for large semi trucks? Will my pickup truck run smoother if I use balancing beads?

Little tip don't take advice about a product from the person trying to sell u the product
Yeah. I agree
Totally agree. A "product" made for a problem that doesn't exist. I will go with my static weights especially on my ZX14. There is no way I would trust this on a vehicle that can do 300kms on 2 wheels. These thing really were all racing vehicles would be using them. Garbage.
@@kellygrant4964they actually work decent for certain applications. I find they do a better job on truck tires. I still spin balance cars and motorcycles. I've got a computer balancer and still use beads on some tires.
Why on Earth is music needed for this? I am so weary of videos that do this. I just want information, and I can play music in the background if I so choose!
No music please! It's CHEEZY and annoying.
Couldn’t hurt to try. Might even calm you down a bit.
@@tofinoguy it’s possible to be looking for information in a horrible location, while also being way too self important and uptight.
@@tofinoguy ask your mom, she was bouncing on my sub button so hard I almost rung her notification bell and uploaded all over the Nokia Brick you’ve been filming on ever since there was a Bush in office.
Great video!! O hope you can upload a video on how to patch a flat in a tire with Balancing beads, how to recover them and how to avoid static and all of them flying or rolling all over the place. Thank you.
I have them and love them....just make sure the inside of your tire and rim is clean. If you have any tire slime in them you have to clean that all out...
If my tires only have 2 years left on them and I transfer the beads to my new set at that time?
Dit not understand why not on 2020 lexus?
Is it safe to put them in a semi steer tire?
I looked on your chart, and I didn't see my tire size. It's a 37x12.5r17 tire on a lifted Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. How many oz do I need per tire? Thank you, and God bless!
12oz per tire
Did he say lifted Jeep? I got them on today and it eliminated all vibration up to 75mph. I did feel some vibration after that from the rear. I think I left the original tire balancing weights on those tires.
14oz. If you go further down the chart in yellow area it says off road and lifted pickups 👍🏼
1 oz : 13 lbs
Do not go over 75 mph on a lifted vehicle. why would you!
What happens at 75mph? No longer applicable? I have a shimmy from 60-70 after that it goes away..
I know a bit about vibration because I studied Vibration Analysis a few years back. At the 60-70 mph speed your wheel is probably in a state of resonance which means it's vibrating in resonance or harmony, with something else in your car suspension system which is probably a spring. In a similar way that when a singer that emits a sound that matches the 'natural frequency' of a wine glass and the glass vibrates and will 'ring' in harmony. If you tap a wine glass and make it 'ring' it's ringing or vibrating at it's natural frequency. If the 'non ringing' wine glass is exposed to a sound that matches it's natural frequency it will ring in harmony which is what the singer is inducing. When a vibrating object is in resonance the sound patterns are going through a phase shift of 180 degrees which causes violent vibrations that can eventually shatter the glass. So what's happening with your wheel at 60-70 mph it's in resonance and therefore vibrating violently, but as you speed up it's coming out of the range of resonance because it's rotating and vibrating faster but the vibration isn't in synch with something else (ie;-spring) that's in resonance with the wheel vibrations. If you kept going faster and faster there's a good chance that it will come into resonance again with either the spring or something else. Vibrations will work in harmonics, or 'multiples of', frequencies such as 2 times and 4 times etc. I hope that explains what I think is going on with your wheels.
I have 2 questions 1st I have 2003 buick park avenue that I want to put snow tires on. I have eliminated the air suspension and opted for regular shocks in back. Tire size is 225-60-16 will your beads work on that size car and tire? 2nd How do you remove these electric static beads from one tire and reuse them? Is that possible? Or are they stuck inside tire for life. I want to be able to go back and forth from snow tires in winter and radials in summer.
No cant go back n fourth every time you re mount a tire unless u put it back exactly %100 where it was when its balanced you will need to re balance regardless if you use beads or weights
My sweeper has a canister that catches everything, so I'll just break the tire bead down and vacuum the beads out. Shop vac would work too.
When you change tires just put the correct amount of beads in the new tire, they'll go where they're needed.

Where to buy these magic beads?
Hey Bob, call my office or visit our website for more info...thanks so much for your interest.
For a 40inx13.5 tire how many ounces should I use
1 oz : 13lbs
Which means what
@@usvcrescuecrew9563 1oz of the ballancing stuff for every 13 lbs of tire weight
What about tubed motorcycle tires?
its fine
2 ounces usually.
And what is the black magic formula to know how much to put in. Don't think I will trust these on a vehicle that can easily do 300km per hour.. (ZX14).
can I put balance beads in wheels that already have balance weights on the outside?
No!
@@bigdadgo…….why not? An explanation would be particularly useful.
@@andycapp8843 No, you should not combine weights with the use of internal beads. The reason being is they work against each other.
@@bigdadgo A wheel and tyre without balancing weights is out of balance! A wheel and tyre with balancing weights attached can also be out of balance. They are both out of balance! How then by inserting beads do they work against each other?
to say the beads won't work with weights installed is to admit that beads don't work
Hate those beads. My tire shop mechanic didn’t have a proper balancing machine so he poored those beads inside my Lexus and they didn’t do anything to help. My suspension is just too soft for those. Had to take all of them out and then road force balance my wheels it handles like a dream now but it took a lot of work to take those damn beads out. When they don’t know what they’re doing that’s what happens. Plus there’s tpms sensors inside my tires those would have got destroyed if I kept riding with the beads.
I can have my tires balanced for about the same price and I don't have to touch them.
Ya and the shop will cross thread your bolts !!
Tire shops suck ballz.
Sounds like Joe Rogan
Coated with silicone 🤣🤣 probably lasts 2,000
Coated with silicone? What thickness? Would that be 2000 miles, kilometres, yards, metres or feet. I noticed the salesman didn’t provide any photographs of the beads actually stuck to the inside of the tyre. I smell bovine excrement.
If u use common sense and think about what he just said makes no sense first bumps when u hit a bump ur tire compresses them beads are not gonna stay in one spot ontop of that static electricity discharges when it touches metal or gets grounded well its inside of a metal wheel so how's that work the only 100% truth about balancing beads is that they don't work and have been proven not to work and cause more damage to ur tire countless times
