Dyna beads

[Jak259]

Anybody try dyna beads for tire balancing? If so how'd they work out?

The tires that came on my truck had beads in them and were worn weird (not sure if previous owner had them rebalanced before trading in or not) thats the only experience I have with them.

The first type I tried caused me nothing but problems,they got wet and turned into gummy clumps that stuck to the tire and made it outta balance bad. This time around they seem to be working ok.

Have you seen centramatic balancers? I had them on my jeep with 35's. I chased down bad balancing for a long while, put these on, and I could drive that jeep with 1 finger at 80 mph. They are dynamic balancers just like dyna beads, but go behind the wheel. You never have to worry about losing beads when changing tires.

I use them in my motorcycle tires and love them. Also my nephew works at a tire shop for semi trucks and that is all they use on the truckers tires. Dyna beads are ceramic and should not stick together when moist. Unless you have mud in your tires somehow.

They might not stick together from moisture. But they can freeze together in the moisture during the winter. But they will warm up when driving.

I tried them on my pickup but did not like them. Use them on boat trailer and they are pretty nice.

I've not tried them in a car or truck tire, but as a motorcycle rider and instructor, I've seen the tests done on motorcycle tires and they apparently do not work. I understand the concept, but the reality of it is [on motorcycle tires] that motorcycle tires are often in the 16 to 18 inch size with up to 5 inches plus width and there was no improvement on the tire's balance. The company keeps advertising but I for one, based on lots of other tests, would not waste my money on the product.

They add weight when not moving and it can be felt in the steering wheel. I am not sure if they would be felt on a bike of anything like that. I just felt I wasted my money.

I personally love them on my work truck tires. Being able to pull off the gravel roads with mud caked tires onto the highway and very little vibration is a blessing. I don't know how they work with TPMS sensors because I've removed them from the work truck tires and just live with the light and chime on start.

I put them in my bike when I replaced the rear tire last year. Really didn't notice much of a difference. Would like to buy a set of the centramatic ones but they are pretty expensive.

When I get aftermarket wheels and tires I'm going to give them a try. Don't want to stick weights inside some nice wheels just to make them look less nice. Lol
