...dyna beads...for tire balancing...instead of weights...?

[FUJIMO]

...anyone use them ever? for truck, car, motorcycle, tire balancing...instead of conventional weight system? putting some new shoes on my protouring & bumped into these things as an alternative...

...there's a few different venders out there, that are simular to the dyna bead brand as well...

They swear by them at the place I get my motorcycle tires. Guys do track days, and are pretty agressive riders in general (barely enough chicken strip to feed one of Sally Struthers kids), and they love them. I know they've used them in semis for a bit, albeit liquid form. I will probably try them my next go around on my bigger bike (Duc Multistrada). It's really not a hassle to me on the motorcycle to use weights, as I take my time to balance the rim tire out. Usually only takes 1 or 2 weights, and I paint them to match the rim. Guess it would be nice to not have to tape them at track days. I wouldn't use them if you use tire warmers for track days. But it doesn't sound like that's your application.

I had them in my Excursion with 285's and they were flawless; so I had them put in my Avalon, too. No issues.

In my 55 yrs. of wrenching I've used them a lot on everything, they work. Can't fall off, either.

Do you use them with tires that already have balance weights?

They removed the old weights and used a chart to estimate how many ounces of beads to use for a particular size tire.

used them once on a truck i had with 35s and had a terrible experience, they werent balanced under 35mph and as soon as i would go over 70 they would start hopping again. i didnt used dynabead so maybe the company i got them from didnt have a good chart for how much beads to use.

everything I own gets balance beads. car, truck, trailer, motorcycle. I will probably never have a tire balanced with weights again.

I tried beads in my 37” tires on my f250. Did ok. Put new tires on and did the road force balance on a hunter machine. With it you balance the tire using the rim first. Sometimes no weight needed. Rides great with little to no vibration.

Do the tire dealers still skype (trimming of OD tire tread) anymore?

That’s one factor where the road force balance excels. It senses out of round tires and rejects them. No one but racers cut their tires these days.

Tried them once and they didn't work for me. I run regular weights and they are smooth as silk. I think it has a lot to do with the quality tire, quality balancing machine, AND the person running the balancing machine.
