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 vehicle'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.
Off-road vehicle suspensions are designed to adjust for any imbalance in the wheel assemblies in order to maintain momentum. But these constant adjustments cause your vehicle to expend a good deal of energy. Because of this, having unbalanced tires can actually result in higher fuel costs.
Counteract balancing beads were independently tested and shown to improve fuel consumption. 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.
Counteract works great for vehicles traversing highways, but what about the vehicles that ditch roads entirely? As an off-roader, you have specific needs that differ from other drivers, and because of that, some of the more common methods of balancing tires simply won't work for you. Weights, for example, can be used to balance your assemblies, but these stick-on weights can easily get knocked off your rims when you go trekking through rough terrain.
Tires can easily be thrown off balance by dirt and stones getting caught in the treads, so naturally the all-terrain and mud-terrain tires on off-road vehicles are especially susceptible to becoming imbalanced. The balancing of your tires will likely change everytime you take your vehicle off-road, so having an automatic, ongoing method for keeping those tires equalized is crucial, especially if you use your off-road vehicle for highway driving as well. As the terrain changes and those giant treads pick up more debris, Counteract beads will immediatley get to work balancing and rebalancing your tires. this means you can stop worrying about your tires and start focusing on having fun.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Counteract six ounce single bag of tire balancing beads for your off-road vehicles. Now, these Counteract Balancing Beads are the economical way to balance your single all-terrain or mud-terrain tire and wheel assembly for the lifetime of the tire. The beads will install inside your tire. I wanted to zoom in just to show you when you order this, this is the bag you'll receive. Now, it will come sealed.
There's a tear off top here. I already tore that off 'cause I wanna dump out the bag to show you what it includes. So when you receive the bag and you open it up, you will receive pretty much three items here. You're gonna have the six ounce bag of balancing beads, you're gonna have the Vortex valve core, and then you're gonna have the logo valve cap. The beads themselves are tiny spheres that are made of coated glass.
The balancing beads will not cause damage to the inner liner of the tire, and they won't clump regardless of excess moisture. And they are TPMS compatible. They are environmentally-friendly construction, makes them reusable and recyclable beads. Now, how the Counteract beads will work to balance your tire and wheel assembly, I just wanna describe that, but I'm gonna pop up a insert to show you there. But what happens is once your tire begins to roll, this bag is gonna break and the beads will get distributed around the interior of the tire thanks to centrifugal force.
And as that wheel continues to spin, the heavy spot on your unbalanced tire is gonna pull up and down on the vehicle suspension and this is gonna cause the beads to shift in the opposite direction of that pole. The beads will continue to migrate until there's enough of them on the opposite side of the heavy spot to balance out your tire. Now, the tire balancing beads continuously and automatically readjust the balance of your single off-road tire. They do reduce vibration and ensure even wear to increase the life of the tire, and they decrease roll resistance for improved fuel economy. To install them, it'll be a very easy installation.
You just throw this inner bag into the tire when the tire is removed from the wheel or you can inject the beads in through the valve stem. The beads themselves do remain inside the tire. They don't come loose and will not cause any damage to your wheels. One thing I do wanna note is if your car or the tire has internal TPMS sensors, you do wanna make sure to break down the tire to install the beads. Now when you go to order these, to order the correct amount of beads for your application, what you'll need to do is get the size of the tire from the sidewall of your off-road tire and then match it to the tire sizes listed on the product page for that size bag of beads. These beads do come in many different sizes, which we do sell separately. This six ounce bag right here is designed for use on off-road vehicles with 15 inch to 16-1/2 inch size off-road tires and a minimum of a half ton suspension. Now, you do not wanna use these beads on passenger cars or SUVs. Now in order to reduce the possibility of any valve leaks, they do include the Counteract Vortex valve core that you wanna replace your factory or your original valve core. What you'll do is just unscrew the valve core from your tire stem and reinsert this one and tighten it down into place. And then also the valve cap, you do wanna replace the cap with this one. These items are included in every bag of Counteract beads. The beads themselves are made in the USA, and this part is for a quantity of one bag of beads for one tire. But that's gonna do it for the review on the Counteract six ounce single bag of tire balancing beads for your off-road vehicles.
