Counteract Tire Balancing Beads - 2-Axle Trailers - Pickup Trucks - CA34FR Review
Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Counteract single four ounce bag of Tire Balancing Beads. Now these are Counteract balancing beads, which are an economical way to balance your tire and wheel assembly for the lifetime of a tire. And these beads are designed to install inside your tire. I wanted to zoom in and show you closer. The bag you'll receive here.
What you'll do is tear off the top right here, which I've already done. When you open your bag on the inside, I'm going to dump it all out here and on the inside, it's going to include the four ounce bag of balancing beads, a vortex valve core and a self-sealing valve cap. Now these beads are made of a coated glass sphere, which they will not cause damage to the inner liner of the tire. They won't clump regardless of excess moisture and they are TPMS compatible. They are an environmentally friendly construction with reusable and recyclable tempered glass spheres.
And basically how this Counteract beads work. When you throw em inside your tire, just sort of zoom in and show your insert there, but basically once your tire begins to roll, these beads will get distributed around the interior of the tire, thanks to centrifugal force. And as that wheel continues to spin, the heavy spot in your unbalanced tire will pull up and down on the vehicle suspension. And this will cause the beads to shift the opposite direction of that pull. So the beads will eventually, if you look at that insert, they eventually will migrate until there's enough of them on the opposite side of the heavy spot of the tire to balance the tire.
That means balancing beads will continuously and automatically readjust the balance of your trailer or light duty truck tire. Helps reduce vibration, ensures even wear to increase life of tire, to improve fuel economy. And they are a very easy installation. Basically, you just throw this inner bag into the tire when the tire is removed from the wheel, or you can inject the beads into the, through the valve stem. Now the beads will remain inside the tire and they won't come loose to contaminate the environment and they will not cause any exterior damage to your rims.
Now, basically you wanna notice, is your tire does have internal TPMS sensors, you will need to break down the tire to install these beads. Again, the application is for this four ounce bag we mentioned, is for trailers and the half ton and one ton trucks. And to order the correct amount of beads needed for your application, what you'll do is get the size of the tire from the sidewall of your trailer or vehicle, and then match it to the tire sizes that are listed on the product page of this product. And for that size bag of beads, these beads do come in different sizes, four ounce, six ounce, eight ounce. So if you go to the product page for that size it'll list the tires sizes that it'll work on. Now, in order to reduce the possibility of valve leaks, they do include this Counteract valve core and this metal valve cap, and it is recommended and included in every bag of the Counteract beads. And as we mentioned, the Counteract beads are TPMS compatible. They are made in the USA, and this is for a quantity of one bag of beads for one tire. But that should do it for the review on the Counteract single four ounce bag of Tire Balancing Beads..
