Wait a minute, if the earth was flat wouldn't I be getting better gas mileage?
My new Triumph has a tire pressure monitoring system. Dealer says beads are a no no. I don't know if the beads would be harmful or not, but at $150 per sensor I will not be risking it.
I've been installing the beads in TPS for years with never a problem. Just the weight of the TPS requires a lot of counter balance on the rim. I balance the rim & then ad the beads. From then on I leave the weights on the rim.
Anyone on here use them?
Nope and I never will.
I can't prove that they work and the manufacturer even states you can't verify their performance on a balancer.
In the amount of time it takes to pop the beads into a tire valve, I have my tire balanced using weight.
The reason you can't verify the beads performance on a tire balancer is obvious, they don't work. Duuhhhh....
I'm just curious. Have you ever actually tried them? The reason a static tire balancer will not work with dynamic balance beads has been explained quite clearly.
They took out $150 worth of TPM's on my neighbors concours - enough reason for me to not use them

Appears as though you're trying to teach a pig to sing.

HW, I just re-read your post and notice that you referred to a static balancer not a spin balancer. I'm sure that what you meant to refer to was a spin or dynamic balancer not static. Am I correct?
