Dynabeads, do they really work?

Thinking about installing Dynabeads in my tires. Anyone here use them and if so how are they working out for you?

never used them on a truck street tire, only offroad tires.

I am using them and so far they have worked like a champ.

Now keep in mind that I only have less than 300 miles on my 2012 but so far, they have worked just as expected. The site recommends 8oz for our sized tires but I went with 10oz in each wheel.

On the way home from the shop I noticed a bit more vibration at speeds over 80 but that seems to have largely subsided. Maybe it was a matter of the beads needing to spread out more over time? I dunno.

I had never used them in a street capacity before either and figured I'd give it a shot and so far, very happy.

I put them in my Generals about 5000 miles now. I think they work great! My Nittos were impossible to keep balanced and the Generals are smooth as butter! I do have issues with the beads getting into the valve stem but apparently I there is something made to prevent that. I only notice it when airing down the tires.

What do you do when they get stuck in the valve stem...roll forward a bit and try again?

Pull the valve stem and throw a new one in. I got it down now!!

I have been using them, in everything I own, for several years now & have absolutely no issues with them. If you check your tires with a shot of air initially, it eliminates the problem of getting one stuck in the valve core.
The nice thing is the tires stay balanced for the life of the tire & you will get more mileage out of the tire itself.
I have also been putting them in my customer's tires for just as long & not a single complaint yet.

It appears that Dynabeads have been discontinued.

What are people using for a replacement?

Has anyone tried the stainless steel balls?

Strange, why would they discontinue?

I use airsoft pellets. No problems so far, works well. I use 8 ounces in each tire.
