We have reached out to TST about this before, and there is not an issue using the internal TPMS sensors included in the TST TPMS # TST34FR you were looking at with the balancing beads in your tires.

This is a great option to allow you to monitor the air pressure and heat build up in the tires of your vehicle or trailer, giving you added peace of mind while on road trips.

I included a video of the # TST34FR for you to take a look at.
