Anyone used these? I like the idea but am not convinced yet, might give them a try on the Hilux

interesting.. could be tempted to try it out on the bike not been able to get the rear wheel balanced right!

Car wheels should be balanced on both sides, thats why you often have balancing weights on both inner and outer sides of the rim, i cant see how these would solve that.

/Sceptic

I never get mine balanced on both sides, I ask to get them on the inside only, other wise when you use Gti brakes with 15" wheels they catch on the calliper

Physics says no.

Looks like another bollocks gimmick which will last 5 minutes.

They do work in 4x4's that have too big tyres to fit on the ballancer. Loads on YouTube have used them with success

No. Just no.

Loads on eBay have used electric superchargers with success BTW..

Gotta be a gimmick

mmmmm cant see it being accurate at all...

If you have lower profile than 65 then you still need normal balancing as well.

Im no physics buff by any means but in my mad soup of a brain if a wheel/tyre has a heavy area and a light area, the forces of the wheel spinning will cause the heavy area to become a greater pulling force (if you stood spinning two objects on a piece of rope, one heavier than the other, you feel a greater pull from the heavy object) and thus pull all the beads into the heavy area rather than the lighter part which needs the weight.

Or am I talking rubbish as usual?!

Must admit, I've been trying to work this out as well. There must be something in it, but I'm struggling to see how it would work as well.

I've used these in the past on the Defender 'Bigfoot' Icelandic Trucks -



Even with the most awesome balancer money could buy we couldn't get it perfect.

So we tired these.

They removed a SMALL amount of balance issue, but frankly not enough to warrant the cost.

As for normal road tyres? No chance.

are they 37's?


If the beads are free, how would you rate them then? the Real beads are expensive

Iv got a pack of 3mm stainless bearings i am going to test
