Frequently Asked Questions

How does this compare to traditional wheel weights?

Ceramic balancing beads offer several advantages over wheel weights. They automatically adjust to maintain balance as tires wear, they can't fall off like external weights, and they work on the inside where they're protected from road debris and weather. Traditional weights stay in one fixed position, so they become less effective as tire wear patterns change over time.

Will these beads work in all types of tires?

Yes, these ceramic tire balancing beads work in passenger cars, light trucks, commercial vehicles, motorcycles, trailers, and RVs. The included application chart shows the exact amount needed for different tire sizes, and the 3 oz scoop makes measuring quick and accurate.

How does this compare to glass balancing beads?

Ceramic beads are superior to glass alternatives because they're perfectly spherical, won't break down over time, and are completely moisture-resistant. Glass beads can clump together when exposed to humidity and may cause valve stem clogging, while ceramic beads maintain their free-flowing properties indefinitely. For more comparisons, see our ceramic vs glass beads guide.

How long do ceramic balancing beads last in tires?

These ceramic beads last for the entire life of the tire. Unlike wheel weights that may need adjustment as tires wear, the beads continuously adapt to changing conditions inside the tire, maintaining optimal balance from installation until tire replacement.
