    When used correctly, balancing beads are the real deal.... Using beads (nylon, BBs, etc) to aid in balancing a large or oversized wheel/tire combo is tried and true and common knowledge in the semi big-rig industry.

    That's alot of scratch to balance 4 tires, 5 with the spare.

    Balance beads are proven technology.

    Hunt around there are other balance bead options which are set up for 1 vehicle.
