Dyna Beads | Balancing beads | Automatic tire balacning | Questions | Answers

I had them for a while and I took them out. After putting them in the first time they sometimes shook horrible, sometimes didn't shake at all. So I went to my tire shop had them balance the tires for me. Didn't help same inconsistant results. When back and forth with Innovate Balancing. After pulling them out of the tires (Which took forever and the cost of remounting tires) I came to the conclusion I had too much in each tire.

I think they would have worked better if I didn't have too much in each tire. The lady I spoke with said it's better to have a little less than too much.

I still have 24 oz and 5 x Filtered Valve Cores & 5 x Alligator V2B Double Seal Valve Caps if someone wants to make me an offer for them.

 

@LoadedTaco I'm interested in this product and curious about your experience with them.

When you said that you thought you may have had to much in each tire, how many ounces did you have in each tire? what size tires were they?

 

I have heard of these. Will be watching this thread. Thanks Crom.

 

@XeddeX I put 8oz per 315/70/17 and it didn't work for me. I'm curious how much @MrGrimm put in each tire.

 

I bought some, 8oz per tire, going to go into 255/85/R16 mud terrain soon. I bought the larger sized beads, not the small ones.

 

I put in 8 oz of the offroad larger beads

 

Maybe it is because I bought the smaller beads.

 

I have some experience to share now... I am running the larger sized beads for off-road tires. I have 8oz. worth in each 33" tire (LT255/85/R16). I've driven about 20 miles on interstate and they are glass smooth. Smooth around surface streets too. I have no wheel weights, and tires were properly indexed at mount time, so the yellow dot is indexed to valve stem.

I forgot to take a picture of the ceramic beads, but they are white, and small. I would say about 1/4 the size of a standard metal BB. They are dense too.

Anyway, here is a pic of my new tire(s).

 

Looking good! I need those beads for my next tire purchase. I had bad luck with my last set of MTs losing balance with bad steering wheel vibes until I rotated the bad ones to the rear.

 

I'll leave this here because it seemed relevant and I learned something new about a hi-lift...
Just thought I'd share...

@Crom Did you have your tires mounted by someone?

 

that's the way I break the bead too. Hi lift is very useful. If dismounting a tire you'll want to break both sides loose.

I mounted one tire by hand, by myself, then had a shop so the other four. I talked to the guy doing the tires to make sure he knew what he was doing.

 

I have rn BB's in my tires for the past 3 years, no problems at all at any speed. I use 11 ounces

 

I mounted my tires to the wheels at home with a prybar and dish soap. I use airsoft bb's for balancing, been working great in my 37's for a couple years now.

 

I have no experience with Dyna Beads, but I did run a similar product called Equal for years on my DD Jeep with 48's and Avalanche engineering beadlocks. Never had a balance issue really, and it saw a pretty fair amount of highway time.

 

I just had my 35's installed with the larger "offroad" dyna beads. It doesn't look like the red dots were indexed correctly to the valve stem but they balanced perfectly. I'm very pleased with how smooth the truck rides.

 

Any specific airsoft beads to go with?

 

Definitely something that's not bio degradable. And won't corrode.

 

And how bout amounts? Just the recommended weights for whatever sized tire?

 

There's a chart on the dyna beads website. I used 8 oz's for my 35's.
