Hi everyone. Aiden here at Etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Counteract tire balancing beads. Now, right away it's important to note that these come in a variety of different kits and sizes. This four ounce bag here isn't gonna work with the same applications that this six ounce bag here does, and the one that we're specifically installing today is a kit of four of these six ounce bags that'll work with our tandem axle trailer. So the important thing to do is go to our website and look at the different kits available.
Whether you've got a heavy truck, a trailer, or an off-road vehicle, there's gonna be a kit for you. Each page is really well documented with different tire sizes that they're meant to work with and different applications. So find the right one and go from there. That way you're not putting too much or too little into whatever tire you have. Now, the question you might be asking yourself is why Why do you need tire balancing beads Well, to balance out your tires and give you a better ride quality.
On a utility trailer like this, it probably doesn't make that much sense because more likely than not, you don't care that much. If it's riding really badly, then sure, but if it's just a slight imbalance, it's probably not that big of a deal to you and most people are probably just gonna move on from it. But let's say you've got a car hauler or a race trailer, maybe a camper. In those cases where you've got maybe more precious cargo or something that you're gonna be camping out of and you want it to be riding smoothly, then yeah, you probably do wanna balance it out. And if you feel like your trailer's just riding rough because of an imbalance, then it can't hurt to try to fix it.
So the way these will work is by injecting the beads or putting them into the tire, and as the tire spins due to centrifugal force, it's going to spread those beads out and they'll naturally want to fall opposite of a heavy spot. So if your heavy spot on your tires over here as it spins and gets up to speed and those beads start to distribute, they're gonna naturally want to sit opposite of that. Now, from the factory, you're probably gonna have some markings on your wheels and tires that when they're put together, they'll try to put the heavy side of the wheel opposite of the heavy side of the tire, and that probably will get it most of the way there. But these beads could be a good option to just make up that difference and even things out the rest of the way because it's probably just not gonna be perfect from the factory. Pretty hard to see because these beads are so small, but they're made of a glass, so they're not going to clump together and Counteract states pretty strongly that these aren't going to damage the inside of your tire.
This style of balancing bead, that might be a concern for some people, but again, they state very strongly that these are not going to cause damage, and that does fill me with some confidence. And if you do have an issue, then you know that they're probably gonna take care of it. The other thing to know here is that they are TPMS sensor compatible. So if you do have internal TPMS sensors, then these can still work. Now, aside from picking out the right kit for your tire, you're probably wondering how they install. They are pretty straightforward and no ma
