Notes:

Balancing beads are designed for use on trailers with a minimum of a 1/2-ton suspension. Do not use these beads on passenger cars or SUVs.
If your tire has internal TPMS sensors, you will need to break down the tire to install these beads.

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.

Bought to see if it will cure uneven tire wear on snowmobile trailer. Definitely better to break the tire bead and pour in vs injecting. Time will tell if it helps. Seems like a quality product.

by: Darrell 02/20/2026

I've never used beads before, but what I have read they work just fine. I'm counting on them.

by: JK 04/26/2022

The installation took a little longer than I expected, you have to have patience with blowing the beads into valve but all went well and I was able to complete two tires in less than an hour, including removal from trailer. I assume they're working properly, my ride was good and tires look evenly worn after 2500 mile spring Florida sojourn.

I put them in my utility trailer and it worked out great.

Did not receive what I ordered. I ordered what is shown in the pic but received a single 12 oz bag. I now have to weigh out the beads individually. Kind of bait and switch. The only reason I gave it one star is I did get 12 oz of beads. Terrible transaction, fraudulent. No there are not 4 separate bags enclosed in the one also only one valve stem.

If that's all you received, then you did not get what was ordered. There should be 4 separate bags, 4 valve cores, and 4 valve caps. If you would like, we can definitely get a reship moving for you and we will make sure everything is included this time. Just let me know if you would like to proceed with a reshipment.

Recently installed these in my 5th wheel RV tires but haven’t taken it out on the road yet. When I do there’s no way to tell how well they work so I’m going on a bit of blind faith here and why I only gave 4 stars. I can give eTrailer 5 stars though for their help with a problem on my original order. They rock!!

No complaints, though I think the only way to tell how well the beads are working is the fact that the tires arent showing any signs of out of balance wear.

@W That is actually a great sign. The balancing beads are designed to continuously adjust inside the tire as you drive, so you typically will not notice them working directly. The best indication that they are doing their job is exactly what you mentioned. Appreciate you reaching out and choosing etrailer!

Awesome customer service and delivered on tine

by: Aj 01/17/2026

I put these in the tire as I was installing it on the rim. I avoided the valve stem method. It was easy to do and after that, they just kind of do their thing.

by: A. Goodwin 06/01/2025

I have always used these balance beads in my trailer tires. Works like a charm. Great product.

by: Tom 09/18/2023

I have open center wheels on one of my trailers and nobody can balance them or don’t want to. So I added this product to them and made a big difference on my 8-14.5 inch tires.

by: Jeff 03/20/2026

Didn't do anything for my 16 ft tandem axle trailer.

Sorry to hear the balancing beads aren't doin the job on your trailer. What tire size are you running?

by: Jim 02/10/2022

Not wanting to break the bead of the tire (not have proper tool), put the beads in thru the valve body (schrader valve removed). WHAT A PAIN! Beads kept clogging the valve body and had to be pushed thru with a straightened paper clip. But it slowly filled and completed the job.

by: Aaron J 05/27/2025 One Year Later

Product works well, I love not having wheel waits on the wheels

by: Corrina 10/01/2025

The beads that came packaged correctly were fine and easy to use however I lost a quarter or more of 2 different bags out of the 8 purchased because the little bags of the beads appeared ok until I went to pull them out and the bags were sliced in the middle so as I got them out of the outside bags they just went everywhere so they were of no use to me and a waste of money in my opinion. So I have 2 of 8 tires left unbalanced so yeah that’s how that turned out!

Gwendolyn Y.

Hey, Corrina. I'm really sorry to hear what happened to the balancing beads. We don't want you to feel like you wasted your money, I'll be reaching out and getting this taken care of for you.

by: Anthony 02/02/2023 One Year Later

To tell you the truth I have not used them yet. I get mixed feelings and comments from people that this can't really work so why put it in your tires. I'm still thinking of trying it.

Have not used it yet. Still deciding if it really works.

Just 4 stars for packaging and instructions. HAVE NOT INSTALLED the product yet. will re-review when that happens.

Product came promptly, was what I ordered, and I was satisfied how it was shipped.

Do you have a question about this Tire Balancing Bead?

Do 205/65-10 Trailer Tires on Galvanized Rims Need to be Balanced
This is a debate that's been raging (well, maybe simmering) for years. In most cases, because trailers do not have steer or drive axles it's not as crucial to balance them as it is for passenger vehicles. In my opinion, it's not necessary for smaller, lighter trailers unless you notice some wheel wobble. Because they are dipped during the galvanization process, the thickness of the coating isn't always uniform so you might find it necessary to balance the tires if you notice any wobble....

Does Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire Come Balanced on 8 Wheel
Tire and wheel combos we carry, like the Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" Galvanized Wheel # AM30070 you're asking about, don't come balanced since trailer tires don't need to be balanced. If you'd like for them to be balanced you can either use the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads for Tandem Axle Trailers # CA68VR or you can have a shop balance the tires for you.

Should Kenda 205/65-10 Tire & Wheel be Balanced
While not technically absolutely necessary, I do recommend balancing the Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" White Wheel # AM3H430. Trailer tires don't come balanced, and some people don't balance them at all, but doing so is a good idea to help ensure the tire wears evenly for the best performance. The easiest way to do this is with balancing beads: - Counteract Tire Balancing Beads for Tandem Axle Trailers - 4 Tires # CA68VR It says for 4 tires but that just means it comes with...

Do Trailer Tires Need Balancing Before Mounting
You do not need to get your trailer tires balanced before mounting. Some people like doing so but it isn't something required as trailer tires don't figure into handling the way car tires do. If you want you can add balancing beads after the fact to balance the tires if you feel the need to: - 8 Inch, 9 Inch, 10 Inch, 12 Inch Tires: Counteract Tire Balancing Beads # CA68VR - 13 Inch, 14 Inch, 15 Inch, 16 Inch Tires: Counteract Tire Balancing Beads # CA83VR

Replacement Radial Tires For Jet Ski Trailer With 4.80-12 Bias Ply Tires
I recommend using the Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire # TT48012C on your jet ski trailer. This will upgrade you to a radial tire which will perform much better on the road and give you a longer tread life. I do not like going to a larger tire on a boat trailer due to launching and loading your jet ski. The taller tire will require you to back further onto the ramp. The Counteract Tire Balancing Beads # CA68VR can be used in place of balancing the trailer tires. These beads continuously...

Do The Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Tire w/ 12" Galvanized Spoke Wheel # AM31202 Come Balanced?
The Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire w/ 12" Galvanized Spoke Wheel # AM31202 does not come balanced as trailer tires are designed for supporting heavy loads and not a smooth ride. You can take them to a shop and have them balanced or we do have the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads # CA68VR which will allow you to add them to up to 4 of these size wheels and tires. The beads move to find the light spot in the tire and balance the tire while you drive. If you find a wheel and tire...
