Notes:
How Counteract Tire Balancing Works
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.Before Installing Counteract

Hello everybody, This is Jeff D, etrailer.com. Today we take a look at the Counteract four pack of three ounce bags of the tire balancing beads. How these counteract balancing beads are the economical way to balance your tire and wheel assemblies, for the lifetime of your tires. These beads are designed to install inside the tires. I want to zoom in and show you this bag here. When you receive this bag, it will be sealed at the top.
Now, what you want to do is just tear off the top, which I've already done, and then dump the bag out, we'll go over all the parts, that come with it. So, basically you can see it'll come with four, three ounce bags of the balancing beads, and then it'll also come with four, of the Vortex Valve Cores. And then it'll also come with four of the self-sealing valve caps. Now these beads themselves are made of a coated glass sphere that these balancing beads that will not cause damage to the inner liner of your tire. And they won't clump, regardless of excess moisture, and they are two PMS compatible.
These are environmentally friendly construction. They are reusable and recyclable beads. Now, how the tire balancing beads work Just wanted to show you, we're gonna pop up a little insert there. And basically what happens is, once your tire begins to roll, these bags, you put one in each tire, they'll break open, 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 spotting, your unbalanced tire will pull up and down on your vehicle suspension. And this will cause the beads to shift in the opposite direction of that pole. So, the beads will continue to migrate until there are enough of them on the opposite side of the heavy spot of the tire to balance out your tire. Now, these tire balancing beads, continuously and automatically will readjust the balance of your truck or off-road tires. Thus, reduce vibration and ensures even where to increase the life of your tire, even helps improve fuel economy.
Now, they are a very easy installation. As I mentioned, you just throw these bags, one in into each tire, when the tire is removed from your wheels, or you can even inject the beads into the valve stem. The beads will remain inside the tires, they don't come loose to contaminate the environment and that won't cause any damage to your wheels. One note I do want to mention, that if your tire has internal TPMS sensors, you will need to break down the tire to install these beads. The application again, is three ounce bags, for trailers and light duty trucks. Now, to order the correct amount of beads needed for your application, what you need to do, is get the size of the tire, from the sidewall of the trailer or type vehicle, and then match it to the tire sizes that are listed on the product page, for that size bag of beads. They do offer different size bags of beads anywhere some like, these are three ounce. They go all the way up to a 20 ounce bag, but basically we sell all those other size bags separately. But, if you go to the part number for that bag and you look at the product page, it'll list the tire sizes, that these would work on. Now, also in order to reduce the possibility of valve leaks, they recommend the use of these Counteract Valve Cores and these metal valve caps in place of the original valve core and cap. And these are included in every bag of the counteract beads. These parts are made in the USA, and this is for quantity of four bags of beads for four tires. But, that should do it for the review on the counteract four pack, of three ounce bags, of the tire balancing beads..

Designed for 14" - 22" truck tires, these balancing beads improve fuel economy and increase the life of your tires by keeping them balanced automatically. Easily install beads through valve stem.Did not work for me.
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!!!
