Tire Balance

[Glenn and Lorraine]

In a word NO.

This product maybe fine for those "Mudders, Rock Crawlers and Oversize Tire Owners" as they are rarely ever driven on the hiways. Off road they are mostly driven at lower speeds and even at higher speeds you would hardly even notice an out of balance condition due to the rough conditions of the roads.

Here's some of the advantages to Dyna Beads®

Eliminate tire vibration Any GOOD balance will do that.
Eliminate tire hoppingAny GOOD balance will do that.
Eliminate tire cupping Any GOOD balance will do that.
Eliminate "clumping" problems. "clumping??" Wheels weights don't clump
Totally Lead-Free product! What?? Are they going to eat the weights??
No weights to corrode or damage expensive rims. With today's weights corrosion is not an issue. When the proper weights are used there is no damage to expensive
No dusty, messy powders to deal with.Lost me on that one.
No re-balancing required. With the tire/wheel assembly properly balanced there is no re-balance problem. Even if the tire/wheel assembly is properly taken apart for a flat repair there is no re-balance required
Reusable Actually most wheel weights are reusable
No weights to fall off Again if properly installed they rarely fall off.
Saves you money by extending tire life! Any properly balanced tire/wheel assembly using the tried and true wheel weights will do that.
Saves you money by eliminating re-balancing! I think I already addressed that but I repeat---With the tire/wheel assembly properly balanced there is no re-balance problem. Even if the tire/wheel Assembly is properly taken apart for a flat repair there is no re-balance required


Properly balanced tires run cooler, place less stress on suspension components, and can even increase fuel mileage. Can't argue that fact.

Note the word "PROPERLY". I use that word to enforce the fact that the only "PROPERLY" balanced tire is one that is balanced by that "REPUTABLE TIRE DEALER". They even used the word "Properly" in their last statement. I wonder what their definition of Proberly is??

Over the many years that I spent in the tire business these so called "Innovative" products keep appearing and reappearing. Over those same years these "Innovative" products have been found to be the latest gimmick to come down the road. Ever since Al Gore invented the Internet there are many many new gimmicks coming out everyday and most are nothing more than gimmicks meant to take your hard earned bucks. These same beads are far from new. They made the rounds years ago even before the Internet and soon died off. Eventually, like many gimmicks, they tend to disappear for a few years and than jump up again.

Personally, I wouldn't use them if they gave them away for FREE but than again that's just my humble opinion.

BTW--That's "my humble opinion" garnered from many years in the tire business.
