Equal - Tire Balancing Beads, No weights to Lose

[Green79Scottsdale]

Dyna Bead

I was going this direction next. Has anyone used Dyna Beads? How similar are they? I gotta believe they are very similar as they both require the use of a filtered valve stem core. Dyna Bead does have an "Off-Road" tire bead that is bigger and does not required a filtered core.

I was already thinking of going this route for balancing before this thread ever got posted.

I've run equal and steel bird shot before with good results. I always wanted to run them unbalanced then add the equal to see the difference but I never did.

My question is will it balance a 40 series tire? I though I've heard it doesn't work on low profile tires.

I wonder how it would work in 38's or 40's and how much you would use.

It said 12oz for a 39.5x18x15.

I have read that they clump together if they get moist, even from moisture in an air hose. Being a plastic polymer it seems this would not be a problem, but people claim it to be true. Can anyone confirm or bust this? I personally don't really believe those claims. And if you are not sticking your tires under water this really would be a non-issue.

I haven't viewed this entire thread and somebody may have said this already but if you have access to a place that uses nitrogen.... I know that where i work our nitrogen tank has a filter to filter out the moisture from the compressor tank. I would assume that your beads wouldn't clump?

I've never hear of the clumping before I'd imagine it could sure happen. I just know this **** works great. We use it in the steer tires from 19.5 and 22.5 tires on the tow trucks and our tires even last longer because they're not getting beat on using the stuff, not to mention not getting our teeth rattled out of our head no more. Huge difference.

I'll assure you, if it works on 22.5 Medium Duty Roll Back tires which is a Semi Truck tires, it'll work for our trucks. I'm curious if it would work for 40-44's though that are so wide and hard to balance. Just remember, the bigger the tire, the more you need. They sell different size packs. You may need a big pack, or 2 smaller ones. Just follow the instructions.

Will do. Right now I have a crap load of tape weights on the inside of my wheels. I wasn't the one whodo the balancing but until I get the beads I'll probably take them to the shop and rebalance them myself.

Whenever you get the beads, be sure to post up and let us know how they worked out initinally, then maybe drop back in a few months and lets up know how they're working a bit later on the down the road.

I used 13oz of steel bb ammo in 33x12.5 tel bias ply and 36x13.5 iroks. Both chunked up pretty good from rocks wheeling. And they balanced great at highway speeds. although when you hit a pot hole all hell would break loose and you could actually here the bbs crashing into the steel wheel. probably wouldnt be an issue on a full size but this was on a samurai that probably weighed 2600# max. i am curious if the actuall product has the same side effect....

I'm giving these a shot.

I'd be expecting good results. I have heard the Equal beads work well when they're working but in the winter time, they have tendancy to sweat inside the tire, then clump together and don't work as well. So long as they come back apart in spring weather I'd be able to live with that. If the weather is that cold, it might be you have snow or ice on the ground and shouldn't be driving near as fast anyway.

Do keep us updated PawPaw !!!!

We use the equal powder in all of our 22.5 and 24.5 truck tires and have for 8 years. Tried several other things that didn't work as well.
