Notes:
Once your tire begins to roll, the beads will get distributed around its interior thanks to centrifugal force. As the wheel continues to spin, the heavy spot in your unbalanced tire will pull up and down on your vehicle's suspension. This will cause the beads to shift in the opposite direction of that pull. The beads will continue to migrate until there are enough of them on the opposite side of the heavy spot to balance your tire. This process will continue for the life of the tire, constantly and automatically adjusting when necessary.
Off-road vehicle suspensions are designed to adjust for any imbalance in the wheel assemblies in order to maintain momentum. But these constant adjustments cause your vehicle to expend a good deal of energy. Because of this, having unbalanced tires can actually result in higher fuel costs.
Counteract balancing beads were independently tested and shown to improve fuel consumption. Not only does this help you save money, but the less fuel you use, the better it is for the environment as well. Couple this with the fact that these beads are made from recyclable glass and won't come loose from the tire to contaminate the ecosystem, and you have an overall environmentally friendly product.
Counteract works great for vehicles traversing highways, but what about the vehicles that ditch roads entirely? As an off-roader, you have specific needs that differ from other drivers, and because of that, some of the more common methods of balancing tires simply won't work for you. Weights, for example, can be used to balance your assemblies, but these stick-on weights can easily get knocked off your rims when you go trekking through rough terrain.
Tires can easily be thrown off balance by dirt and stones getting caught in the treads, so naturally the all-terrain and mud-terrain tires on off-road vehicles are especially susceptible to becoming imbalanced. The balancing of your tires will likely change everytime you take your vehicle off-road, so having an automatic, ongoing method for keeping those tires equalized is crucial, especially if you use your off-road vehicle for highway driving as well. As the terrain changes and those giant treads pick up more debris, Counteract beads will immediatley get to work balancing and rebalancing your tires. this means you can stop worrying about your tires and start focusing on having fun.

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Counteract Eight Ounce Single Bag of Tire Balancing Beads for off-road vehicles. Now these Counteract balancing beads are the economical way to balance your single all terrain or mud terrain tire and wheel assembly for the lifetime of the tire. The beads will install inside the tire. I did wanna zoom in and show you, when you order, this is what you'll get.
You'll receive this bag, and it will be sealed at the top. It has a tear off strip that I've already removed, because I just wanna show you what the bag comes with. So if we dump everything out on the table here, line it all up. You'll be able to see, you get the eight ounce bag of balancing beads. You get the Vortex valve core.
You get a standard metal valve cap. And then they also include the flow through cap. Now the beads themselves, they're tiny spheres made of coated glass, and the balancing beads will not cause any damage to the inner liner of the tire. And they won't clump, regardless of excess moisture. And they are TPMS compatible.
They are environmentally friendly with reusable and recyclable beads. Now how the Counteract beads will balance your tire and wheel assembly, let me just pull up an insert, you can follow along. But basically, what happens is, once your tire begins to roll, this bag is gonna break open and the beads will get distributed around the interior, thanks to centrifugal force. And as that wheel continues to spin, the heavy spot on your unbalanced tire's gonna pull up and down in the vehicle suspension. And this is gonna cause the beads to shift in the opposite direction of that pole.
The beads will continue to migrate until there's enough of them on the opposite side of the heavy spot to balance out your tire. These tire balancing beads continuously and automatically readjust the balance of your single off-road tire. They will reduce vibration, and they ensure even where to increase life of the tire. They even decrease roll resistance for improved fuel economy. Now to install, and it's a pretty easy installation, you just throw this bag into the tire when it's removed from the wheel, or you can inject the beads into the valve stem. The beads will remain inside the tire. They won't come loose, and they won't cause any damage to your wheels. Now one thing I would do wanna mention is, if your tire has internal TPMS sensors, you will need to break down the tire to install these beads. And to order the correct amount of beads for your application, what you'll want to do is get the size of the tire from the sidewall of your off-road tire, and match it to the tire sizes listed on the product page for that size bag of beads. These beads do come in many different size bags, which we do sell separately. Now this eight ounce bag of balancing beads, these are designed for use on off-road vehicles that have 15 inch up to 16 and a half inch size off-road tires, and a minimum of a half ton suspension. You do not wanna use these beads on passenger cars or SUVs. Now the other parts here we mentioned, in order to reduce the possibility of valve leaks, they do include this Counteract Vortex valve core. If you just wanna replace your factory valve core, you just unscrew it out of the valve stem and then screw this new valve core back in. And then you wanna replace the cap, and they give you two options. They give you the standard valve cap that you'll just screw on, or you have this flow through cap, which is nice to have because it has a ball valve at the top. So when you do screw this onto your valve stem, you can leave it on when you check the air pressure or you need to add air, you don't have to keep removing it like the regular valve cap. These are included in every bag of Counteract beads. The beads themselves are made in the USA. And this is for a quantity of one bag of beads for one tire. But that's gonna do it for the review on the Counteract Eight Ounce Single Bag of Tire Balancing Beads for your off-road vehicles.
