I think

I read a post on these one time. I think that the beads are put inside of the tire when mounted or through the valve stem. They find the place that they need to be when the vehicle is driven to balance the tire. From what I read every one using these seemed to like them.

Go to www.innovativebalancing.com.

They have some pages there. All I can say is they work for me.

Be sure if using the balance beads that the valve stems are replaced with ones with screens. If not, next time you check tire pressure the core will not seat and you will have a flat tire.

Do a search for Tire Balancing Beads in the 2nd gen High Performance forum. There's a good 5 page or so discussion about them.
