Good stuff,  Easy to use.

I run them in my street bike(03 Kawi z1000). I've found at my shop they can be a pain to install into tubes.  My only mention wild be a hard wobble in the front on hard braking.otherwise, nice product. I didn't see any milage increase because I go through a rear tire every oil change(2500-3k) I ride it kinda hard

I use airsoft bb's. They are cheaper and quieter. I have them in everything from small quad tires all the way up to 40" mud tires. The ratio I have was for big tires but I have played around with weights and kind of have it figured out. You can have too little but it doesn't seem to hurt anything if you have too much weight. quad tires I use about .25-1.oz of bb's depending on height and width of tires. Never needed any in my motorcycles though. The ratio I was given is 35" tires use 5oz and for every inch taller add an oz. I think that is a little much. I have 2oz in my 33's and they run smooth as a Caddy. It's a good start point though.

I tryed them once in a pickup truck.. with very bad luck..


would go smooth... then about 2 miles later... would vibrate the left front.... then the right rear would vibe... work its way around.. then go smooth again..

then another tire would start to vibe... work its way around again.. then go smooth for a few more miles..


I hear that not enough beads would cause this...





The unsteady under breaking on a motorcycle is somthign that I always thought would happen..


also I hear they dont work as great off the road...

Not enough beads would cause some weird shaking. Also depends on the tire tread. I run Super Swamper off road tires so I always have a little shaking due to tread style.

The beads work with centrifugal force so not enough wheel speed and the beads are just floating around not doing their job.

Balanced off road tires are kind of pointless unless you drive them on the street. Guys build heavy duty driveshafts out of square tubing for their off road trucks but if they ever drove them on the road the truck would shake apart in a matter of miles if not less. The soft bumpy terrain absorbs the shaking/vibration.

Semi trucks use a product called equal. Which is basically sand. Biggest problem with that is moisture/condensation. When equal gets wet it clumps up and takes forever to dry out especially confined to the inside of a tire. I don't recommend it for any civilian vehicles. It's also messy trying to put it in the tire.

can someone explain what they are/do? never heard of em this side of the puddle, thanx.

Oh come on youve seen the videos, maybe thunder beads rings a bell for translation. Kind of a bump bump thing that makes people vibrate the left front.... then the right rear would vibe... work its way around.. then go smooth again..

Kwakman they are beads that are slightly smaller than bb's. They are used to balance large or hard to balance tires instead of lead weights. Lead weights make nice wheels look bad, cause corrosion and can move out of place over time causing your tire to be out of balance. Beads always balance even when a tires belt shifts or breaks(Pending you have enough beads installed to begin with).
