Frequently Asked Questions
Which wheel balancing beads are best for my car?
Counteract beads are ideal for most vehicles 1/2 ton and larger. For passenger cars and light trucks, this 14 oz size works well for most standard tire sizes. The key is using the correct amount - too little won't provide full balance, too much can cause imbalance. Visit the Counteract website calculator or consult their sizing chart for your specific tire dimensions.
Do wheel balancing beads actually work?
Yes, wheel balancing beads have been proven effective in independent testing. Counteract beads use centrifugal force and inertia to automatically counteract heavy spots in your tire, providing dynamic balance that traditional wheel weights cannot match. Over 25 years of real-world use by commercial fleets and individual drivers confirms their effectiveness.
How do these compare to traditional wheel weights?
Unlike static wheel weights that only balance at specific speeds, these dynamic balancing beads continuously adjust as you drive. They won't fall off like adhesive weights, can't be lost during tire mounting, and automatically rebalance when you rotate tires. The beads also balance the entire rotating axle assembly, not just the wheel.
Are these beads safe for TPMS sensors?
Absolutely. These balancing beads are specifically designed to be TPMS compatible and will not damage sensors or affect pressure readings. The coated glass material won't clump or stick to sensors, and the beads are small enough to move freely around the tire without interference.
What size vehicles can use 14 oz wheel balancing beads?
The 14 oz size works well for most passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs. Check the counteract sizing chart or visit their website calculator to determine the exact amount needed for your specific tire size. Commercial vehicles and larger trucks typically require bigger quantities.
