Notes:
Once your tire begins to roll, the beads will get distributed around its interior thanks to centrifugal force. As the wheel continues to spin, the heavy spot in your unbalanced tire will pull up and down on your truck's suspension. This will cause the beads to shift in the opposite direction of that pull. The beads will continue to migrate until there are enough of them on the opposite side of the heavy spot to balance your tire. This process will continue for the life of the tire, constantly and automatically adjusting when necessary.
Truck suspensions are designed to adjust for any imbalance in the wheel assemblies in order to maintain momentum. But these constant adjustments cause your truck to expend a good deal of energy. Because of this, having unbalanced tires can actually result in higher fuel costs, especially if you travel long distances above 54 miles an hour. Fueling your truck can cost you a fortune, so why not do everything possible to cut down on those costs?
Counteract balancing beads were independently tested and shown to improve fuel consumption up to 2.2%. Not only does this help you save money, but the less fuel you use, the better it is for the environment as well. Couple this with the fact that these beads are made from recyclable glass and won't come loose from the tire to contaminate the ecosystem, and you have an overall environmentally friendly product.

Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Counteract single 20 ounce bag of tire balancing beads for one tire. Now, these Counteract balancing beads are the economical way to balance your tire and wheel assembly for the lifetime of the tire, and these beads do install inside the tire. When you do order it, you'll receive a 20 ounce bag of balancing beads. I'm gonna show you what you get in the bag. There's your 20 ounce bag of the balancing beads, it'll also come with the vortex valve core, the self-sealing valve cap, and the double seal flow through cap.
Now, these balancing beads, they are a coated glass spheres, these balancing beads will not cause damage to the inner liner of your tire, they won't clump regardless of excess moisture, and they are TPMS compatible. They are an environmentally friendly construction with reusable and recyclable beads. And just to let you know how this Counteract beads tire balancing works, I wanna pop up an insert here. If you look at that insert, basically, once your tire begins to roll, this bag will break and then the beads will get distributed around the interior, thanks to centrifugal force. And as the wheel continues to spin, the heavy spot in your unbalanced tire will pull up or down on the vehicle suspension, and this will cause the beads to shift in the opposite direction of that pull, so the beads will continue to migrate until there are enough of them on the opposite side of the heavy spot to balance out your tire.
Now, these tire balancing beads will continuously and automatically readjust the balance of your truck or off-road tires. They do reduce vibration, ensure even wear to increase life of the tire, and they'll even improve fuel economy. And as we mentioned, they're an easy installation, you just throw this inner bag into the tire when it's removed from the wheel or you can inject the beads through the valve stem. The beads do remain inside the tire, they won't come loose to contaminate the environment, and they will not cause any damage to the wheels. One note I do wanna mention, balancing beads are designed for use on trucks with a minimum of a half ton suspension, you do not wanna use these beads on passenger cars or SUVs.
Now, if your tire has internal TPMS sensors, you will need to break down the tire to install the beads. Again, the application for this 20 ounce bag is 20 1/2 inch heavy-duty truck tires. Now, to order the correct amount of beads needed for your application, you will get the size of the tire from the sidewall of your trailer or vehicle and match it to the tire sizes listed on the product page for that size bag of beads, we do sell these in different size bags. And in order to reduce the possibility of valve leaks, the use of this Counteract valve core we mentioned and the metal valve cap is recommended in place of your original valve core and cap, and as we said, these are included in every bag of the Counteract beads. Now, these are made in the USA, and this is for a quantity of one bag of beads for one tire.
I'm gonna ahead and drop it right back in there. But that's gonna do it for the review on the Counteract single 20 ounce bag of tire balancing beads for one tire.

I love them. Went on a trip from Buffalo, N.Y. To Branson, Missouri and the ride was as smooth as could be. No vibration at all at speeds up to 90 miles an hour..
I definitely will use them again.
Counter Act balance beads are an excellent product, I have used them in my motorcycle tires for years. This is the first time I have ordered a set for truck tires.
Best way to keep your trailer tires balanced and not need rebalancing later.
Balance beads do not work in jeep wheels! I even called the manufacturer to make sure I was using the correct amount for my application.
Product arrived fast and exact. Thsnks
Worked as expected
I have a 1970 VW van with 14" wheels that most shops can't balance because they lack the adapter ring to fit the wheels. Looking for options I found Tire Balancing Beads, with this kit being the best option for me, providing not just the beads in correctly sized pouches for each tire, but all the tools necessary to install them. That process was super easy. This low-tech solution was perfect and the beauty is, the beads last for the lifetime of the tire -- no worry about weights falling off. The price for the full kit was less than bead-only costs from most other retailers.
Was impressed how well the beads work.
Was pleased with the packaging and shipping from etrailer. Would order again.
Great product, works good, order arrived quite a bit late unfortunately, but thats not etrailer's fault.
Counteract beads are a great product. Works past my expectations. Plus you don't see the wheels weights. Much cleaner look. Thanks Etrailer
Counteract Tire balancing beads is a excellent product. Can't say enough on how good it works! No more losing weight, especially the stick on type. Beads reside inside tire and works great. Package arrived and packaged well. Thanks ETrailer!!
Counteract beads are the way to go for me. Great product. Plus you don't see wheel weights on outside of wheel. Thankyou Etrailer
Got what I paid for and in a timely manner no hassle
quick service! Great Price
This system did not work on my gmc retain or series pickup. The fire monitor in the valve stem seems to impede the head flow. Wish that was mentioned in description. Now I'm stuck with an expensive tool that does not meet my needs.
Good tires for price, used on car dolly, exact replacement, no issues at all so far
I have used balance beads in many kinds of tires (trailer,truck,car,van) and always get way more miles and better wear from my tires . Highly recommend !!!
WARNING on the packaging on these - each outer bag contains an inner bag of beads + a valve stem + a valve cap + a valve extension. The valve parts are just loose inside the outer bag. Problem is, it wasn't clear that the valve parts are even included with the product, and on 3 of the 4 I received, the inner bag was broken. The inner bag was broken on the first one I opened, so not knowing any better, I just dumped the whole thing in the tire and sealed it up, not realizing I had sealed up valve parts in my tires! The second one I opened had in intact inner bag, so I realized my mistake. I had to break the bead on the first tire to get the valve parts out! I haven't driven on them yet, so not sure how well they work, but thought folks she be forewarned about the packaging issue.
Excellent tool! We use this often to install bead balancing on preassembled tires on trailers and trucks. It does have a learning curve (cant feed it too fast) but once you figure it out, it is perfect for the job. Just ordered a replacement in Aug '22, the replacement came preassembled and the hoses were backwards, a simple fix.
Very easy to use. Cannot rush the installing of the beads through the valve stem.As they will log jam up. Slow and stead fill with positioning the valve stem at the bottom of the wheel. Not sure if this would work well with TPMS wheel sensors. Would probably be better to have the tires broken of their beads by a automotive shop and put in that way.
Fast shipping!!!
Works as advertised
I use them on every tire I change!
Super fast shipping - same day. Definitely recommend this site for the best prices and expertise on the products they sell.
