After about 200 miles on the new E3, I'm happy to report that the Dyna Beads are doing an excellent job keeping the tire in balance. I think I will pull the lead weight off the front and use them there too.

I do have a few I dragged back to the cave. Slightly bruised and missing a small patch of hair from the top of their heads, otherwise undamaged. I'll trade either one for grog or chrome goodies.

There you go Jay....now you've satisfied my understanding. The graphics help too!

Thank you my friend for being persistent.

Here you go this is from Dyna Beads Tech support.

Subject: Tire Beads Paul was telling us about tire beads, free moving weights inside a tire that continuously seek the location which counterweights a tire imbalance. I wondered why they helped as opposed to making matters worse. So here goes. First I want to frame the question. Wide low profile tires and wheels entail three...

Thus the glass beads tend to ride over the metallic micro-spheres to move easily to points of imbalance to dampen vibrational energy.

Thanks Jay for the write-up. I still think I left wondering how the beads find the points of imbalance. The whole article does not explain how the beads "find" the point of imbalance.

I appreciate your efforts however.

I don't know how it works, but it works!

has them. The guy I bought the Wing from said he didn't want to mar the custom wheels, so he installed the beads. He siad they were only $10 and worth a shot. He says he had the Wing up to 120 mph and I have ran it up to 110 mph and it is smooth as silk!!!! I would give them a shot if I were you!

I think this is #5 on the list of all-time great debates.

#1 - auto vs m/c oil
#2 - synthetic vs dino oil
#3 - loud pipes save lives
#4 - chain lube vs wax
#5 - dyna beads vs lead balance weights
#6 - nitrogen vs air
#7 - car tires

yep, there it is...#5.

but seriously, I've heard some folks use them and find they are the cat's meow. Many heavy truck fleets use them and...

Anyone have any experience with using the beads to balance their tires instead of lead weights?

I picked up a Dunlop E3 180/70HR16 off ebay for $142 and will try to have it mounted this weekend.
