Wheel Balancing Beads

Counteract Wheel Balancing beads are a unique product comprising of small (range between 25 to 45 thousands of an inch or 0.64 to 1.15 mm) beads formed from a primary ('first') material having a higher tribo-electric work function. The beads have a permanent coating formed from a secondary material with a lower tribo-electric work function. The beads cling statically to the inside of the tire and stay in place to keep the tire balanced even during conditions of no motion. According to the company's patent, the static forces are not strong enough to prevent future re-balancing in case the tire's balance has changed due to uneven road abrasion or similar events.

How is the product installed?

There are three different methods of installation of Counteract Balancing Beads. The simplest and most preferable is the method that uses the throw-in bag in bag packaging. This method involves simply throwing the small bag into the tire while installing new tires. The air pressure in the tire will collapse and burst the bag, allowing the material to get to work quickly. An air blaster can be used to seat the tire with this method. The second method is to pour the material directly into the tire during installation. The third method is to remove the valve core, remove approximately half of the tire's air pressure, and inject the material directly into the valve with our injector pump. We provide detailed instructions on how to complete all of our installation methods.
