Default Question about tire balancing

Have any of you guys used beads to balance your tires? Any pros or cons?

Yes, I have been using them for years, both in my motorcycle and my truck. They work.

Pro, they dynamically balance the wheel/tire assembly, as the tire wears the beads will always find the low spot.

The only con, and it's not actually the beads fault is the valve stems required with the pressure sensors won't allow you to put them in that way.


This is where I get them. http://www.innovativebalancing.com/
