HellFire is Going Darkside !!!

Regular sticky weights, dyna beads don't make physics sense to me. Increasing the unsprung weight with a moving object defy's my sensibilities. But guys swear by them so they must work, for now I'll stick to a fixed weighted dynamic balancing.

...Beads tend to not work as well in car tires due to the flatness/width of the tread. I was running them in my truck until I got tired of the cold tire shake and vibration after hitting bumps. Later on a rep explained to me the dynamics of the bead in motion.

The bead works best with narrow tall tires. It tends to not regroup in the right spot or stay in place when you hit a bump in the road or when the tire is cold starting out.

Kinda like the wheel bearing grease experience I had recently – there are sales people – then there are product knowledge sales people that want you to know where their product performs best in certain applications. They want your dollar but don’t want the consumer to have a bad experience and never buy from them again.
