 Shocked

anyone have any experience with this style of beads?  Seems like these stay in one place once balancing has occurred. http://www.chromeworld.com/ProductDetails/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=%7Bf1219441-5afe-42d5-ba7b-75facdf47f70%7D&pname=Counteract+Tire+Balancing+Beads+Kit&Referer=QUICK_SEARCH&Alias=CAKit&ptct=BS-SR&CTitle=&

If I'm not supposed to post a commercial product as part of my question, then remove this post as you see fit. I'm not promoting this product. I just saw it and have a question. If I have violated the rules here I'll apologize in advance. (I read the rules, but couldn't see any other way to ask my question without showing the product.) Undecided

I have the regular dyna beads in my D/S rear and the metz 880 up front. Over 7000 miles on the beads and liking them a lot. One place i drove for had the dyna beads on all of their tractors. That be part of the reason they are in my M/C tires. coolsmiley And no out of balance feel every time i start up. Just got back a little while ago from a 160 mile ride. Pushed it to triple digits a couple of times. Smooth as can be. No issues with tire balance at all. cooldude RIDE SAFE.

Check the Dyna Beads home page for local distributors. My local Vulcan dealer sells them, and I have them in my D404 bias rear tire on the front, and Falken 512 CT on the rear. 7,000 miles and not a wiggle. No apparent wear or cupping on either end.

I think they're overkill. Never had a problem with any tire execpt the rear m/c tire that wore even but didn't last long when I first purchached this ever lasting machine long ago

So is the general concensus that the beads also alleviate cupping / scalloping? If so, could someone elaborate on the physics how do they do that? Just to edumacate me as I am not able to figure it out on my own  Embarrassed

thanks all for your input. Any questions I had as to "how in the heck do they work?" were answered by clicking on the link I have in my original post/question here. Somewhere on the site is a video of how it all works....as I have no other frame of reference to dispute their claim....I'd say they work......JMO> uglystupid2
