Poly beads for tire balance

Yep, I ordered a set with the easy dispenser to get them through the valve stem. I'm going to do it in my driveway.

It does say right on the site that "* The Applicator cannot be used on valve stems with TPMS unit attached. In that case, the Pour In method must be used". Just a heads up for everyone with stock wheels with the TPMS sensors and aftermarkets with sensors added in.

I hated the beads. But the roads around chicago are horrible. Every heave / expansion gap in the road sent the tires back out of balance and horrible shaking, Bad part is those expansion joints are about every 100 feet, so they were constantly out of balance.

Tool the wheels of, emptied the beads and went back to the stick on weights, no problem since.

i might be going that route. took it out on the highway right after mounting and 8 oz of beads and rides like a shopping cart. ill get it back in next weekend and have em pop em off, recenter, and retorque; maybe one of em is a little crooked. not sure if being hubcentric would help but ive searched and apparently hub rings the necessary size cant be had.

I don't have these I just did some research when I was thinking about buying Method wheels.

I have used beads in tires from 35" to 54" and I can't imagine going back to weights.
