Tire balancing??

[moparbob]

I just bought a new set of tires and ordered a set of balance beads to try.
I read where you should "spin balance" first and then add the beads into the tire.
Is this the best way, or just add the beads to new tire without spinning?
What is the thoughts of people who have or is running the beads
Thanks for Info,
Moparbob

</div>I read the same thing Bob so when I converted last year I had the tires balanced then added Dyna-Beads. Front tire is getting changed this coming week. I'll do the same thing again. Got real good service out of that BT45 mounted in reverse. I pounded it pretty hard and it never failed me...

If you use the Counteract Beads,they advise no weights on wheel and no need to spin balance,just install the beads.
I already had weights on my front and back wheels so I called company.They advised to take weights off.

I would follow the directs you will probably get a much smoother ride. I just put "RIDE ON" in my all ready balanced tires and it really made things very smooth. Good Luck

I had Discount Tires balance and road force my back tires and it smoothed right out.

I've been running Dynabeads in my Motorcycle tires for years. I've also got them in my wife's Triglide tires F&R. Never pre-balanced any of them. Just make sure you don't get a lot of the tire lube tire installer's use inside the tire.

When I installed the Chrome rims on my wife's 2012 Triglide, I had to wash the inside of her factory tires. Looked like the installer at the MoCo sprayed the crap inside the tire's. Stuff was still wet and sticky. That will cause the Dynabeads to clump up and can't do their job. I highly recommend them. I use them in my RK spoke wheels with tubes.

Put a new tire on the Stallion about 6 weeks ago and used 4oz (recommended amount for tire size) of the ceramic beads and the shop removed the old weights. Rides smooth as silk.<br />
